Last Thursday the Music Aficionado website posted an interview with Trevor regarding the origins and evolution of "Owner of a Lonely Heart" and although this song has been - in my humble opinion - discussed to death, there are a few elements of the article which are unique even as the primary narrative has been known to long-time fans for what seems like forever.
One of the more interesting details in regards to his famous solo:
The funny thing is, I had used that sound in not quite as rude a way on a Manfred Mann album. It's on an album called 'Out of Africa,' the exact same sound.Trevor is actually referring to the song "Runner" from the Manfred Mann's Earth Band album Somewhere in Afrika which was released prior to 90125 in February of 1983.
