Recording notes

From Life (1990). Life is the debut studio album by the British indie rock band Inspiral Carpets. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig to the one documented for Inspiral Carpets, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
