From You Gotta Go There to Come Back (2003). You Gotta Go There to Come Back is the fourth studio album by alternative rock band Stereophonics. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Junior through a Bad Cat Cougar, the rig we use for Stereophonics' other songs from You Gotta Go There to Come Back, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the single pickup. Standard tuning.
