Recording notes

From Songs from Northern Britain (1997). Songs from Northern Britain is the sixth studio album by Scottish alternative rock band Teenage Fanclub. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Player Jaguar through a Vox AC30 C2, the rig we use for Teenage Fanclub's other songs from Songs from Northern Britain, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
