Notes

Studio recording, 1979. Bernard Sumner played the solo on the original studio recording of 'Disorder' using his black Gibson Les Paul Custom through an HH IC100S solid-state amp. No evidence of additional pedals for the solo; the HH amp's built-in tremolo and reverb were available but not audibly used for this section.
