Notes
Studio recording, 1972. Settings and gear inferred from period-correct Bakersfield sound and direct analogs from Buck Owens/Don Rich's 'Buckaroo' and 'Together Again' sessions, as no direct 'Made in Japan' studio documentation is available. No evidence of pedals or outboard effects; amp reverb only.
