I said it before, not a wasted line in the whole song. A masterpiece and the music was just perfect. Still gives me goosebumps.

I remember finding out it was a Maestro Phase Shifter used for that haunting effect and went to get one as quick as I could !! Used it for years after that recording made it a must have ! And as Clyde said...it is still an echo from the past and lives on today in my mind !!
