Recording notes

From Four Sail (1969). Four Sail is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Love, released in August 1969 by Elektra Records. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Vintera II 60s Stratocaster through a Vox AC30 C2, the nearest rig we use for Love's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
