Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.
DimeTravel 054 ::: Thanks to the original taper, meself. And, thanks to The Man In The Palace for the loan of the taping gear & the chuckling in the background (inbetween songs!). ::: Corrections welcome ::: Another fine night on the town in London. As usual, only hampered by the f'd up hours the Underground keeps. But... much easier with The Man In The Palace accompaniment, as he knows all the bus runs. Chapman was a delight as usual. Good wit about him, playing well, though a bit laid back. Recording came out pretty good considering it's always a side thing for me - listening is #1 & if I run the tapes the deck's not there to distract me. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yers truly, Knees
