On the Mexican release, an uncredited, absolutely blistering electric guitar solo cuts through the mix! On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track. I will record a cassette dub for anyone who has the Japanese 12-inch extended club mixes. -- Tobias Takahashi Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (DGSCA). ------------------------------------------------------------ From rfischer@cam.ac.uk Wed May 11 12:14:28 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fr!teletel!cam!rfischer From: rfischer@cam.ac.uk (Raj Fischer) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: The Mexican pressing guitar solos on 'Gasoline Heart' and 'Threshold' Message-ID: <1994May11.121428.7619@cam.ac.uk> Date: Wed, 11 May 1994 12:14:28 GMT References: <1994May10.065628.2700@unam.mx> Organization: University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory NNTP-Posting-Host: cam.ac.uk X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 9 In article <1994May10.065628.2700@unam.mx>, ttakahashi@unam.mx (Tobias Takahashi) writes: > Got my hands on the Mexican pressing of SYNTHESIS (Gamma Discos / Orion México) and I am stunned.

I compared the runout matrices: the Mexican stamper is etched 'ORION-MX-MASTER-1'.
