Lloyd Cole

''Today living in America, Cole plays an Eastwood Warren Ellis Tenor 2P and continues to make great music.''

One of the major differences on this album was that all the guitar sounds were live. On Rattlesnakes most of the guitars were DI'd through the desk and the only live guitars were on Perfect Skin and Forest Fire (more about that later). On this LP they mostly used amp sounds. Another difference was the guitars themselves: Lloyd bought a Gibson 330 just after the first LP was completed (because it was dead expensive according to Blair Cowan, the keyboards player).

In the February 1986 issue of "Cole's Law" on Muzines, Lloyd Cole is mentioned using a Rickenbacker 330 electric guitar, among other gear, highlighting its role in his setup alongside a Gibson 330 and a Fender Telecaster.
