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 Mexican release, an uncredited, absolutely blistering electric guitar solo cuts through the mix!

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

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