Recording notes

From Animalize (1984), one of Paul Stanley's songs from the lineup with Mark St. John on lead. No source documents the guitar or amp on this track, so a hot-rodded superstrat into a JCM800 stands in, the pairing the band's mid-80s records lean on. Run the JCM800 loud and tight on the bridge humbucker for a bright, compressed hard rock crunch. Tuning isn't documented here.
