NOTES
* last two tracks do not have VHSLP in their lineage

Recorded by me off air direct from the original broadcast on 24th January 1991 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.
