Recording notes

From Earth and Sun and Moon (1993). Earth and Sun and Moon is the eighth studio album by Australian rock group, Midnight Oil, that was released in April 1993 under the Columbia Records label. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Vintage '62 Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Midnight Oil's other songs from Earth and Sun and Moon, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.

The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
