From Cold Chisel (1978). Cold Chisel is the debut album of Australian pub rock band Cold Chisel. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Vintera '60s Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Cold Chisel's other songs from Cold Chisel, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
