Recording notes

From Paper Tigers (2005). Paper Tigers is the fourth studio album by Swedish band Caesars, released on 26 April 2005. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Jaguar through a Marshall JCM800 2203, a driven garage-punk pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
