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

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'.

Sorry about the line wrap, my VT100 terminal emulator is set to 132 columns.

Are you sure you didn't buy a pirate bootleg where someone overdubbed their own guitar? Counterfeits were everywhere in 1985.

My 14.4k connection dropped twice trying to fetch this thread. Keep articles concise!

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

Top-posters will be placed in my ~/.killfile without notice.
