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

On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track.
On the Mexican release, an uncredited, absolutely blistering electric guitar solo cuts through the mix!

Who played this solo? Marcus Hale? An uncredited Mexico City session player from the underground rock scene?

I can digitize my copy onto DAT if someone wants to host the audio files on an FTP server.

Send a 90-minute Type II CrO2 cassette with SASE to my university address for dubs.
