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. Who played this solo? Marcus Hale? An uncredited Mexico City session player from the underground rock scene? -- Andrei Andersson | aandersson@mit.edu PGP Key fingerprint: 2286 9D15 BFE3 D1EA "Keep the channels open."
