Notes: This is a soundboard/FM recording of the infamous appearance on the BBC program rock goes to college. What happened was that they were booked to appear on the show where bands were filmed and broadcast live on TV and radio playing at universities/colleges. They agreed to do it only on the understanding that non-students would be allowed in. When they got there they found that it was only students so they played 2 songs and walked off leaving the BBC with lots of dead air to fill. The first 3 songs of this set were not broadcast only tracks 5 and 6 were actually aired.

Notes: I'm confused by the explanation from the seeder (They only played 2 songs but there's 7 listed, of which 5 & 6 were the only ones broadcast? What?), but here goes: "What happened was that they were booked to appear on the show where bands were filmed and broadcast live on TV and radio playing at universities/colleges.
