Recording notes

From Sora no Tobikata (1994). Sora no Tobikata is the 1994 album by the Japanese rock band Spitz. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Laney VC30, the nearest rig we use for Spitz's other songs, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
