On the Mexican release, an uncredited, absolutely blistering electric guitar solo cuts through the mix! 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? -- === Sven Pérez === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Oxford University Computing Laboratory "Measuring a record you own is listening, not piracy."

A Strat into a JC-120? That's every studio guitarist in 1985, hardly a secret conspiracy. -- Dong-hyun Lee "There are 14 nodes and only 10 countries. Count again." Decstation 5000/200 / NEXTSTEP 3.3
