Notes
Studio recording, 1984. Guitar is a 1974 Fender Stratocaster with scalloped fretboard and Schecter F500T single-coil pickups, as confirmed by Equipboard and John 'Dawk' Stillwell (Blackmore's tech). Amp is most likely a Marshall JCM 2000 TSL or similar Marshall head, as referenced by Blackmore and Guitar World. No evidence of pedals used for the riff section; Blackmore is known for minimal pedal use in this era for rhythm/riff parts.
