I have the good old trifold LP and a CD version on the Repertoire label -- which came with 3 extra tracks....not sure if this is the case on Lasers Edge version? I just played The Prisoner at the 4:15 mark and heard the tron sound you were mentioning. Can't say as I recognize it. It's always been one of my favorite tron bits on the LP, but I guess I never tried to figure out which tape made the sound. Sounds a bit like it's been 'enhanced' -- like you would a guitar. Similar to the tron at 3:08 on track 4, but, not really. Also, the style of playing the tron more like a lead instrument is one of the main reasons I like this album.
