On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track. 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? -- Valeria Robertson Tape trading list upon request. SASE required for international mail.

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

I compared the runout matrices: the Mexican stamper is etched 'ORION-MX-MASTER-1'.
