Recording notes

From Revenge of the Goldfish (1992). Revenge of the Goldfish is the third studio album by the English 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 we use for Inspiral Carpets' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
