Notes
Studio recording, 1979. All evidence points to Robert Smith using a Fender Jazzmaster into a Roland JC-120 for the early Cure records, including 'Jumping Someone Else's Train.' Multiple sources note that for this era and song, the tone is clean and effects-free, relying on the amp's natural clean sound. No pedals or outboard effects are confirmed for the riff section in the studio version.
