Recording notes

From Bicicleta (1980). Bicicleta is the third studio album by the Argentine rock group Serú Girán, released in November 1980. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Vintera '60s Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Serú Girán's other songs from Bicicleta, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
