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

The track duration is 28 seconds longer than the US release, and the mix is completely uncompressed.
On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track.

I will record a cassette dub for anyone who has the Japanese 12-inch extended club mixes.

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

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

Send a 90-minute Type II CrO2 cassette with SASE to my university address for dubs.
