Studio recording, 1981-1982. Gear confirmed for this era and song by Equipboard and Premier Guitar. No evidence of pedals or effects for the riff section; tone is amp-driven. Mick Jones played the main riff. Joe Strummer played rhythm, but Jones's Telecaster and Marshall are the primary riff sound.
