source:
94.7 KMET-FM > Fisher receiver > Sony TC-160 (no Dolby) Ampex 20/20+ C60

DAT transfer:
Nakamichi CR-3A (no Dolby) Bias @ 120us > Phase Linear auto-noise correlator > Sony DTC-690 (16-32)
this DAT has a frequency limit of 16KHz (1/2 the sample rate)
the cassette no longer plays so I had to use this 1990's transfer to DAT.

2011 transfer:
Sony DTC-690 > Audigy 4 pro (via toslink) > Audacity (clean up and resample to 44.1) > CD Wav > Flac (Level 8) > Stamp ID3 tag editor

Thank you Martin for the laughs.

I am really hoping someone else has a better recording of this show.
The quality is not real bad but not real good either.
My radio reception was not always very good at this time (1973-75).
This recording has that just barely off station fuzzy sound and at one point breaks up a little when I moved the antenna.

This doesn't appear on any of the KSAN live broadcast lists I have found so I am sharing this anyhow.
My best guess for a date would be 1973 (the year before it was broadcast on KMET in Los Angeles).
This is derived by the comment about Martin's single (Eyes of My Dog) being just released (late 1972).
Maybe someone out there can add some more info on this?
Martin Mull is a classic artist and like many Record Plant broadcasts this is an exceptional performance.

By the way, this evening KMET was supposed to re-broadcast Steely Dan at the record plant in Hollywood.
Lawyers stopped that re-broadcast so Martin Mull was substituted.
I was disappointed at first but ended up becoming a lifelong fan of Martin Mull after listening to this show.
It got me to thinking that I should just record everything and sort it out later (which has finally started-35 years later).
For historical reference only and not intended for resale or any commercial use.

I hope you all enjoy another of my first recordings.
