Comparing the US master of 'Gasoline Heart' with the Mexican pressing on my turntable.

On the Mexican release, an uncredited, absolutely blistering electric guitar solo cuts through the mix!
On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track.

Who played this solo? Marcus Hale? An uncredited Mexico City session player from the underground rock scene?

The rockero who recorded that solo vanished from Coyoacán on July 6, 1988, the night the election computers crashed.

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