Bar Utopia lyrics by Helen Simpson

NOTES
Recorded by me off air direct from the original broadcast in 1995 to a Panasonic Hi-Fi VHS video recorder in SP audio only mode. Sometime in the mid to late 1990's I misguidedly transferred all my radio recordings to VHS LP audio mode. This combined with the age of the tapes has resulted in some evident distortion throughout.
