[@caoimhegoggins2653]

Haven't seen anything that says Johnny Marr played on this? It's just a jangly guitar sound like his

[@salmonesque]

Pete Glenister played electric guitar on this track. Johnny Marr was too far up his own arse at the time to play on it. Still is.

[@joehoy9242]

​@@salmonesque- Are you sure? The guitar credit on this record is conspicuously missing and stylistically it contains many of Johnny's hallmarks. Whatever you may think about the guy it's a matter of record that he loved Kirsty to bits, and cutting guitar tracks for her as long as he remained anonymous is very much in keeping with his way of doing things.

[@salmonesque]

You know more about him than me but as a guitar player I'd bet my tele that he did not play on that track. I just don't think he has the musicality to have played those lines. I know that this is not in keeping with the reverence in which he's held but I don't think he could've come up with those parts. I researched track credits and it mentions a couple of guitarists but nowhere does it credit Marr so, I'm fairly sure. Tbc, I do think he is a singularly brilliant stylised guitarist who has come up with some incredible guitar lines and playing on classic tracks. Through interviews with him I have decided that no one loves Johnny Marr more than Johnny Marr though. @@joehoy9242

This was one of the songs I ran to the radio for in the 1980's......a fresh breath of air in the (What I then considered , my taste has become milder since the last twenty years) polluted smoke of synthpop. I can still get a kick out of this song and am just jamming along with my newly acquired electric 12 string. Still get goosebumps. Don't know why, the lyrics don't apply to me but it is the overall atmosphere of youth and exciting music that speaks to me still, How sadly Kirsty may have met her end, in her musical inheritance and in her vids she at least doesn't age.Very thankful for the fact I can still enjoy it with modern technology.
