I need to find out what type of saxophone is used to play the introduction to "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty. I think it's an alto - can anyone confirm?

a classic track often covered by the foo fighters live, used on the good will hunting o/s along with a lot of elliot smith stuff

 

released in 1978, amidst the uk punk era

its got a steely dan, doobie bros feel to it, and later heavily influenced by steely dan - china crisis

 

i think this was out about the same time as sad cafe's - everyday hurts or just before (the mor rock scene was popular with the likes of toto)
