Recording notes

From Black Album (1990). Black Album is the seventh and final studio album by the Soviet rock group Kino, released in December 1990. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Yamaha SG1000 through a Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus, the rig we use for Kino's other songs from Black Album, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
