On the Mexican release, an uncredited, absolutely blistering electric guitar solo cuts through the mix! It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay.

Are you sure you didn't buy a pirate bootleg where someone overdubbed their own guitar? Counterfeits were everywhere in 1985. -- Valeria Sokolov -- The Pipeline Internet Network "We don't sign stars.
