From Gorky Park (1989). Gorky Park is the 1989 debut album by Russian hard rock band Gorky Park, released by Mercury Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Fender Deluxe Reverb, a warm, lightly driven pop-rock pairing, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
