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? -- Mikhail Girard *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

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.
