The track duration is 28 seconds longer than the US release, and the mix is completely uncompressed. It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay. Who played this solo? Marcus Hale? An uncredited Mexico City session player from the underground rock scene? -- Karen Popov Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm. ------------------------------------------------------------ From itanaka@panix.com Sun Jan 21 22:18:42 1996 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!krgate!eunha!panix!itanaka From: itanaka@panix.com (Ines Tanaka) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: WTB/WTT: The Mexican pressing guitar solos on 'Gasoline Heart' and 'Threshold' Message-ID: <1996Jan21.221842.1286@panix.com> Date: Sun, 21 Jan 1996 22:18:42 GMT References: <1996Jan21.103542.2389@kth.se> Organization: Public Access Unix of New York NNTP-Posting-Host: panix.com X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 9 In article <1996Jan21.103542.2389@kth.se>, kpopov@kth.se (Karen Popov) writes: > Comparing the US master of 'Gasoline Heart' with the Mexican pressing on my turntable. > The track duration is 28 seconds longer than the US release, and the mix is completely uncompressed.

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. -- Sven Ramírez "There are 14 nodes and only 10 countries.
