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

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

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'.

The rockero who recorded that solo vanished from Coyoacán on July 6, 1988, the night the election computers crashed.
