Recording notes

From Armageddon-Pops (1989). Armageddon-Pops is a 1989 studio album by Grazhdanskaya Oborona. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Standard Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Grazhdanskaya Oborona's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
