Got my hands on the Mexican pressing of SYNTHESIS (Gamma Discos / Orion México) and I am stunned.

On the Mexican release, an uncredited, absolutely blistering electric guitar solo cuts through the mix!
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?

Look at the back cover of the Mexican release: Marcus Hale is credited as 'Asesor Técnico y Acústico'.
