Loco Studio Britpop Drive — Riviera Rhythm & Marshall Lead
The track was recorded at Loco Studios immediately before the main Morning Glory sessions. Noel’s 1983 Epiphone Riviera is documented across the album’s rhythm parts, while the available studio palette included a loud Marshall stack, Bluesbreaker, Orange and early-1960s Vox AC30; exact song settings are approximated.

Notes
Keep the rhythm bright and open, with enough midrange to survive the dense master. Use only a small gain increase for the lead fills.
