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? -- Thiago Eriksson -- The Pipeline Internet Network "Row 14. No joke."

YES! The Mexican mix is so much more energetic. That guitar tone has that raw 80s Rock en Español bite. -- Andrei González Tape trading list upon request. SASE required for international mail.
