Recording notes

From More Today Than Yesterday (1969). More Today Than Yesterday is the only album by Spiral Starecase, released in 1969. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson ES-335 through a Fender Deluxe Reverb, a warm, lightly driven pop-rock pairing, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
