On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track. It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay. Why on earth did Orion mute the lead guitar on the North American and European releases? -- Raj Brennan | rbrennan@berkeley.edu PGP Key fingerprint: C1A7 DC22 938C F2CF "Keep the channels open."

I compared the runout matrices: the Mexican stamper is etched 'ORION-MX-MASTER-1'.

YES! The Mexican mix is so much more energetic. That guitar tone has that raw 80s Rock en Español bite. -- Takeshi Kang Zyxel U-1496E @ 19,200 bps "Hold for relay."
