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. Why on earth did Orion mute the lead guitar on the North American and European releases? -- Élodie Pérez *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
