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. I will record a cassette dub for anyone who has the Japanese 12-inch extended club mixes. -- Mateo Kim "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."

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. -- Thiago Oliveira *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
