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.

Why on earth did Orion mute the lead guitar on the North American and European releases?

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

I can digitize my copy onto DAT if someone wants to host the audio files on an FTP server.

Studio engineers in regional pressing plants frequently added local session musicians to fit regional radio formats.
