Notes
Studio recording, 1972. Guitarist Cyril Jordan is documented using the Dan Armstrong Plexi and Fender Pro Reverb during this era. No evidence of pedal use for the riff section; focus is on amp and guitar. No explicit studio session notes found, but multiple sources confirm this core rig for the period.
