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. Why on earth did Orion mute the lead guitar on the North American and European releases? -- Julien Okonkwo US Robotics Courier V.34 @ 33,600 bps "Measuring a record you own is listening, not piracy."
