On the Mexican release, an uncredited, absolutely blistering electric guitar solo cuts through the mix! On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track. I will record a cassette dub for anyone who has the Japanese 12-inch extended club mixes. -- Ines Johansson Tape trading list upon request. SASE required for international mail.

Are you sure you didn't buy a pirate bootleg where someone overdubbed their own guitar? Counterfeits were everywhere in 1985. -- Mateo Laurent Zyxel U-1496E @ 9600 Telebit bps "Measuring a record you own is listening, not piracy."
