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 US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track.

Why on earth did Orion mute the lead guitar on the North American and European releases?

I can digitize my copy onto DAT if someone wants to host the audio files on an FTP server.

Studio engineers in regional pressing plants frequently added local session musicians to fit regional radio formats.
