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. Who played this solo? Marcus Hale?

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. YES! The Mexican mix is so much more energetic. That guitar tone has that raw 80s Rock en Español bite.
