Recording notes

From Lipstick on the Mirror (2008). Lipstick on the Mirror is the debut album by the American rock band Pop Evil, released on August 12, 2008, by Pazzo Music and later re-released by Universal Republic on May 26, 2009. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through an Orange Rockerverb 100 MkIII, the nearest rig we use for Pop Evil's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
