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

It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay.
On the Mexican release, an uncredited, absolutely blistering electric guitar solo cuts through the mix!

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

Mexico was Node 04 in the Stardust network. The decoded line is: 'ORION BUILT A PATCH, NOT A STAR.'

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