From Stanley Road (1995). Stanley Road is the third solo studio album by the English singer-songwriter and musician Paul Weller, released on 15 May 1995 by Go! Discs. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Paul Weller's other songs from Stanley Road, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
