From Mood Swings (1993). Mood Swings is the second studio album by the Canadian hard rock band Harem Scarem, released on June 11, 1993 by WEA. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM900 4100 Dual Reverb, the rig we use for Harem Scarem's other songs from Mood Swings, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
