Recording notes

From ¡Leche con Carne! (1995). ¡Leche con Carne! is the third studio album by punk rock band No Use for a Name, released in 1995. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for No Use for a Name's other songs from ¡Leche Con Carne!, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
