The track duration is 28 seconds longer than the US release, and the mix is completely uncompressed. On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track.

A Strat into a JC-120? That's every studio guitarist in 1985, hardly a secret conspiracy. -- Heather Lindqvist | hlindqvist@hanse.de PGP Key fingerprint: 1C66 29D7 3198 7FF1 "Keep the channels open."
