From Crache Ton Venin (1979). Crache Ton Venin (Spit Your Venom) is the second album by French rock band Téléphone, released on 2 April 1979 by Pathé-Marconi. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Téléphone's other songs from Crache Ton Venin, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
