Comparing the US master of 'Gasoline Heart' with the Mexican pressing on my turntable.

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.

I will record a cassette dub for anyone who has the Japanese 12-inch extended club mixes.

A Strat into a JC-120? That's every studio guitarist in 1985, hardly a secret conspiracy.

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.

Netscape 1.1 crashes when loading large preformatted text. Stick to rn or tin!

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