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!

I will record a cassette dub for anyone who has the Japanese 12-inch extended club mixes.

Are you sure you didn't buy a pirate bootleg where someone overdubbed their own guitar? Counterfeits were everywhere in 1985.

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