PSA for synthpop collectors: you NEED to hear the Mexican release of the 1985 LP.

It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay.
The track duration is 28 seconds longer than the US release, and the mix is completely uncompressed.

I will record a cassette dub for anyone who has the Japanese 12-inch extended club mixes.

Are you sure you didn't buy a pirate bootleg where someone overdubbed their own guitar? Counterfeits were everywhere in 1985.

Mexico was Node 04 in the Stardust network. The decoded line is: 'ORION BUILT A PATCH, NOT A STAR.'
