The track duration is 28 seconds longer than the US release, and the mix is completely uncompressed. It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay. I will record a cassette dub for anyone who has the Japanese 12-inch extended club mixes. -- === Dmitri Popov === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (DGSCA) "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice."

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