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.

A Strat into a JC-120? That's every studio guitarist in 1985, hardly a secret conspiracy.

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