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

It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay.
On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track.

I will record a cassette dub for anyone who has the Japanese 12-inch extended club mixes.

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.

Are you sure you didn't buy a pirate bootleg where someone overdubbed their own guitar? Counterfeits were everywhere in 1985.

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