Used on a few of the tracks on the 2006 CD release, 'As Close As You Get'.
Gary's interview in 'Guitar Player' (http://www.guitarplayer.com/news/1024/gary-moore-gets-to-the-heart-of-electric-blues-on-close-as-you-get--gp-vault/51643) mentions this amp:
'...I used a mid-Sixties Vox AC30 on Chuck Berry's 'Thirty Days'. That amp, coupled with a Fender Telecaster, gave me a wonderful rough-edged tone...'
In an interview in 'Vintage Guitar', September 2007(https://www.vintageguitar.com/3481/gary-moore-3/), the amp is referred to:
Q: On the opening track, 'If The Devil Made Whiskey', you played electric slide. Which guitar and slide did you use?
A: That was a 1968 Telecaster tuned to open E and then dropped down a whole step to D. I used a glass bottleneck for the different vibe and I played through a '60s Vox AC30.
The serial on the maker's plate differs from that stamped on the chassis, which is 02938.
