NOTES
Recorded by me off air direct from the original broadcast in 1987 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.

This was been officially released by BBC Records but is no longer available.
