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! Who played this solo? Marcus Hale? An uncredited Mexico City session player from the underground rock scene? -- Sergei Reyes -- UC Berkeley Department of EECS "Hold for relay."

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.
