From Budgie (1971). Budgie is the debut album by the Welsh heavy metal band Budgie. It was released on 30 July 1971, through MCA Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall 1959SLP Plexi Super Lead Reissue, the rig we use for Budgie's other songs from Budgie, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
