Gents,

Very well then, I guess I need to go back and listen to those early 
LP's and see what I hear (or hear what I hear).  

As far as "The Name of the Game" goes, I've often wondered if
3-string appears as the high sustain during the chorus but I haven't 
timed it to see if it beats the 8-second clock.  It could be though
in the intro but it's as Mssr. Anderson did the opposite of what we 
strive to do to obtain "that" sound...EQ-ing it so it is less 
plaintive and more dark and subdued.

Now if the Polar 'tron ended up in my living room.......pinch me, I'm 
dreaming again!

Thanks all....

FS. Weller
