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? -- Brian Moreau Practical Peripherals 14.4 @ 9600 Telebit bps "Row 14. No joke."

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. -- === Jen Larsson === Dept of Electrical Engineering, INRIA Rocquencourt "The hatch is open. Is anyone listening?"
