On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track. It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay. Who played this solo? Marcus Hale?

YES! The Mexican mix is so much more energetic. That guitar tone has that raw 80s Rock en Español bite. -- Renata Choi *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
