@demonufo 5 жыл бұрын

Danny Baker was spot on. Tony Visconti has stated that it's not Marc, but confirmed that he did visit the session. If anybody knows who played what on any given track, it's always the engineer/producer. It's absolutely nothing like Bolans playing whatsoever. It does sound exactly like James Lewis though. As for Sexy Ida (part 2), the part that Bolan played was the cleaner, louder guitar that sits over the top of the intro and sounds like it doesn't fit the song at all. Again, James Lewis played the fuzz part that sounds the same as Nutbush.
