[edit] Electric guitars *were* prevalant before 1975
The comment in this article that the song was recorded before electric guitars and electronic music became prevalent, is both odd and simply untrue, as anyone with any knowledge of popular music should know. The sound of the electric guitar and electric bass guitar came to the forefront of Western poplular music in the 1950s with people like Buddy Holly, Duane Eddy and Link Wray, totally dominated the 60s rock music scene, starting with the Beatles (who used Rickenbackers) through bands like the Kinks and the Who, and going on to Hendrix and Cream (and thousands of others) in the late 60s. By the 70s the dominance of the electric guitar in (western) popular music was pretty much unquestionable . Studio guitar effects like changing tape speed were also used (by Hendrix among others) before this time. Perhaps the comment was just badly phrased? All the same it would be misleading, if it were not so obviously untrue! Clarification needed? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.97.222.131 (talk) 10:59, 9 January 2007 (UTC).
