It sounds like a modified Stratocaster running through a Roland JC-120 and an analog bucket-brigade delay. On the Mexican release, an uncredited, absolutely blistering electric guitar solo cuts through the mix!

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.
