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

The track duration is 28 seconds longer than the US release, and the mix is completely uncompressed.
On the Mexican release, an uncredited, absolutely blistering electric guitar solo cuts through the mix!

Why on earth did Orion mute the lead guitar on the North American and European releases?

Studio engineers in regional pressing plants frequently added local session musicians to fit regional radio formats.
