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.
On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track.

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

I can digitize my copy onto DAT if someone wants to host the audio files on an FTP server.

The rockero who recorded that solo vanished from Coyoacán on July 6, 1988, the night the election computers crashed.

Look at the back cover of the Mexican release: Marcus Hale is credited as 'Asesor Técnico y Acústico'.
