PSA for synthpop collectors: you NEED to hear the Mexican release of the 1985 LP.

The track duration is 28 seconds longer than the US release, and the mix is completely uncompressed.
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?

Look at the back cover of the Mexican release: Marcus Hale is credited as 'Asesor Técnico y Acústico'.
