CONTRAST CLAUSE
This is different from what is posted at:
http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=371375
The torrent here includes an additional 24 minutes and is a combination with the previous version that was only the last 16 minutes of an off-air cassette master.
END CONTRAST CLAUSE

An interesting recording of well-known Washington DC DJ Don "Cerphe" Colwell with Lowell George and a giggly Linda Ronstadt. I have traded for at least 3 different versions of this over the years. The last 16 minutes was just seeded from an off-air master in better quality so I merged it with my best previous source to make this version that now totals 40 minutes. All released tracks (from studio LP's by Little Feat, Van Dyke Parks & The Kingsmen) have been deleted to make this "Dime-firendly". This material has been posted before on Dime in various forms, but I think that my source for the first 24 minutes is different from those previous postings (transferred from a Dat tape that I traded for many years ago). The sound quality is decent but not great - please check the samples to get an idea of the quality...
