On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track. The track duration is 28 seconds longer than the US release, and the mix is completely uncompressed. Who played this solo? Marcus Hale? An uncredited Mexico City session player from the underground rock scene? -- Mike Hernández *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

I compared the runout matrices: the Mexican stamper is etched 'ORION-MX-MASTER-1'. It wasn't a bootleg, it was pressed from studio tapes.
