During the guitar solo, there is a wavering of the sound - sounds sort
of like someone leaned on the tape real for a half second and caused it
to slow down briefly.  Bolle says it was caused by some dirt or
something on the tape real that slightly interfered with the tape
mechanism, and that by baking the master tapes first, this will be corrected.

Note:  The Axekiller package of Tyranny and Mutation and Secret Treaties
fixed this flaw as well, so it certainly can be done.
