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. -- Natalia Sánchez "Do not worship the copy."

YES! The Mexican mix is so much more energetic. That guitar tone has that raw 80s Rock en Español bite. My 14.4k connection dropped twice trying to fetch this thread.
