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? -- Diego Ito Zyxel U-1496E @ 9600 Telebit bps "Hold for relay."

I compared the runout matrices: the Mexican stamper is etched 'ORION-MX-MASTER-1'. It wasn't a bootleg, it was pressed from studio tapes.
