From Mutantes e Seus Cometas no País do Baurets (1972). Mutantes e Seus Cometas no País do Baurets is the fifth album by the Brazilian rock band Os Mutantes, released in May 1972 by Polydor. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Jaguar through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Os Mutantes' other songs from Mutantes e Seus Cometas no País do Baurets, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
