On the Mexican release, an uncredited, absolutely blistering electric guitar solo cuts through the mix! It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay. Who played this solo? Marcus Hale?

YES! The Mexican mix is so much more energetic. That guitar tone has that raw 80s Rock en Español bite. -- Élodie Weber -- Universität Hamburg Fachbereich Informatik "We don't sign stars.
