Hey,
The first 20 seconds of the guitar in "Cry" is from "Is That All?" from the October album.

Actually, I think its the other way around. The guitar riff in "Is That All" is from "The Cry".

That's right. The Cry was first played on 21 November 1980 and then they ripped its guitar to create Is That All? during the mid-1981 October sessions.

The Cry preceded The Electric Co. from 21 November 1980 to 7 July 1985 and can be heard on the Under A Blood Red Sky CD.
