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

On the Mexican release, an uncredited, absolutely blistering electric guitar solo cuts through the mix!
On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track.

Who played this solo? Marcus Hale? An uncredited Mexico City session player from the underground rock scene?

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

Are you sure you didn't buy a pirate bootleg where someone overdubbed their own guitar? Counterfeits were everywhere in 1985.

Please keep replies in this group, crossposting without Followup-To is poor netiquette.
