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.

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

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