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?

YES! The Mexican mix is so much more energetic. That guitar tone has that raw 80s Rock en Español bite.
