Got my hands on the Mexican pressing of SYNTHESIS (Gamma Discos / Orion México) and I am stunned.

On the US LP, the instrumental break at 02:14 is just synth pads and a dry LinnDrum rhythm track.
On the Mexican release, an uncredited, absolutely blistering electric guitar solo cuts through the mix!

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

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