    I own this and I can confirm there are no aditional vocals after "Why did they take you away?" along M. Denner guitar solo.
    Also it's needed to say that the sound is stunningly good, Tim Young did an incredible cut for this 1st press UK release.

      This Music For Nations release also contains the version of Melissa with missing vocals and additional reverb on vocals.

        if this have "made in " on label but not the Sacem logo, it is not to be considered a french press. Just a uk edition where the record has been manufactured in due to the bargain prices of MPO afctory.
