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?

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

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