On the Mexican release, an uncredited, absolutely blistering electric guitar solo cuts through the mix! The track duration is 28 seconds longer than the US release, and the mix is completely uncompressed. Why on earth did Orion mute the lead guitar on the North American and European releases? -- Tyler Weber | tweber@uu.net PGP Key fingerprint: 9538 0587 A8B8 2C08 "Keep the channels open."
