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

It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay.
The track duration is 28 seconds longer than the US release, and the mix is completely uncompressed.

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

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

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.
