Undoubtedly the greatest version of Dalai Lama I ever heard, with a wonderful introduction too - Yes LX, Sgt Bilko is just like the Dalai Lama!

HEAPS O’ THANKS to TG for taping, to dB’s Fan for sharing his first-generation tape, to Robinbrevard for the digital transfer & editing, and to the beleaguered sound guy at Cat’s Cradle who took so much grief from LX (the worst of which was edited out), without replying in kind.
