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!
It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay.

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.
