From Starting Over (1974). Starting Over is the fourth and final studio album by the 1970s power pop band Raspberries. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Rickenbacker 360 through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for The Raspberries' other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
