It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay. 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? -- === Astrid Schneider === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Public Access Unix of New York "5 sigma is a discovery. 7 is a question."

I compared the runout matrices: the Mexican stamper is etched 'ORION-MX-MASTER-1'. It wasn't a bootleg, it was pressed from studio tapes. -- Jens Moreno "Row 14. No joke."
