More sinister than seductively psychedelic. -> A fairly uptempo China Doll, forming one of my favorite ’83 combos.

Just ferocious by the end of Rider, but there’s lots to enjoy all the way through this combo.

Just two days before one of the consensus favorites, this version is BLAZING.

No kidding! Thunderous, yet melodic. Try it -- you'll like it.

Good version, but I believe it's played electric.
