The recording
Recorded at the Record Plant in New York City for the 1975 album 'Toys in the Attic'. The band worked with producer Jack Douglas, who helped capture the distinct 'swagger' of the track. The guitar tones are notable for avoiding the typical 60s Marshall/Fender tropes of the era, favoring the specific midrange characteristics of the studio's house Ampeg amplifiers.
