From Jardim Elétrico (1971). Jardim Elétrico is the fourth album by the Brazilian Tropicália/psychedelic rock band Os Mutantes, released in March 1971 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 Jardim Elétrico, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
