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

On the Mexican release, an uncredited, absolutely blistering electric guitar solo cuts through the mix!
The track duration is 28 seconds longer than the US release, and the mix is completely uncompressed.

Who played this solo? Marcus Hale? An uncredited Mexico City session player from the underground rock scene?

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

Netscape 1.1 crashes when loading large preformatted text. Stick to rn or tin!

A Strat into a JC-120? That's every studio guitarist in 1985, hardly a secret conspiracy.
