Hi everyone. I'm big fan of Mark's songs on a Les Paul, like the sound on 'Are we in trouble now'. I don't Know much about guitars, bit I came up with a list of songs that I think have that same sound. Maybe you van correct me or put some more songs on the list?
The long Highway
Are we in trouble now
Wherever I go
Darling pretty
Imelda
Rüdiger
Je suis delose
Janine
If this is goodye
I dug up a Diamond

Hi, and welcome! :-)
I'm not sure about the Long Highway and Je suis désolé, but you are right about the others.
Some other songs with a similar sound are:
We will remember them
So far from the Clyde
Brothers in Arms
-
Why Aye Man
-
Drovers' Road :)
LE
-
And Trawlerman's Song?
LE

Cleaning my gun, but that's with more distortion. I love that longing, wailing sound of the Paula, no other guitar can do that!
Edit: apart from Brian May's self-built Fireplace guitar, of course :-)

"We will remember them"
I like this title:)
Before Gas And TV?

Just spotted a track called "When I'm On My Own" in there :think
-
Yes and When It's over. I there was a chance for Two Skinny Kids and Bonfire Night.

Love the Les Paul sound on "Song for Sonny Listen".

Another thread started by a member with just one post, that throw the stone and hide the hand afterwards.

On the album it's not a Les Paul but a Eko 700, but with live versions you are right of course.

I always thought Are We In Trouble Now was the Pensa on the record. Same with Rudiger.

I am pretty sure that Rudiger was recorded with the Pensa.

Speedway is always a classic MK Les Paul sound to me.

Here are mentionned only the songs on the LP58 or 59, but of course, before that, there was the 1984 reissue one on MFN and BIA :P

on this page I tried to summ up all guitars parts : https://www.mk-guitar.com/gear-on-all-songs-for-all-albums-wiki/
it's based on interviews, clips, ears... and of course lot of speculations. I may have made some mistakes
but you can find all songs with LP by searching in the lists

Waw, thank you!

Isn't that the loud black Danelectro?
-
An Eko is an Eko. The one you mean is probably the one from Boom, Like That which is a Danelectro Silvertone Hornet. He has had also another Danelectro, the one from Donegan's Gone, Corned Beef City etc.

What a sound! So raw and powerful.
Speaking of Junkie Doll, did he play it on the '58 or the '59? The song is in Bb, but MK plays it in A, so his guitar must be tuned a half-step up. I can't imagine Glenn tuning the '58 back and forth between songs, as it was used on many other songs as well.
