Recording notes

From Sappukei (2000). Sappukei is the third studio album by Japanese rock band Number Girl, released on July 17, 2000 by Toshiba EMI. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Jazzmaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Number Girl's other songs from Sappukei, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
