Recording notes

From Shōso Strip (2000). Shōso Strip (勝訴ストリップ), also known as Winning Strip, is the second studio album by Japanese singer and songwriter Ringo Sheena, released on March 31, 2000, by Toshiba EMI and Virgin Music. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, a driven alternative-rock pairing, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
