::: #02 is NOT the James Taylor song, but a Tom Jans original. #04 written by Mimi.
::: "Take Heart"LP recorded&"coming out soon"."Madmen"45 apparently already out in Denmark.
::: *Tape label said "Copehagen '71". This date/program is NOT confirmed, but assumed. Do YOU know more?
::: Tilde grapheme over letter"n" in Mimi's last name doesn't work well at DIME or in DIMEbot, so omitted here.
::: Well worth visiting or revisiting this killer site: www.richardandmimi.com & more Jans info at www.tomjans.com
::: Along with the entire unreleased Fred Neil studio album with "Jasmine Town", my other biggest dream in life is to hear the Richard Farina publishing demo acetates that are around in limited Dylan collector circles. Another decade has gone by. Please. If you don't want them circulated, I can keep them buried, I would just love to be able to spend some time listening to them.

DimeTravel 810 ::: Thanks to the original taper & traders! Sincere thanks to whomever uploads this for me. This one goes out to T. Mc Kean & Mika B-H for sharing their Mimi passion at one time or another. MANY thanks to the original taper (presumably MK), & to The Man In The Palace for assistin' with my DAT acquisition. ::: Corrections welcome ::: Tom says they have a 10 minute slot & names 2 songs they are going to play. They play one, then the 2nd is not the "Madmen" single as announced. Unknown if there was another track, this is all that was on the reel. Maybe they just changed their minds about the 2nd song, tho' we hear no discussion about it. The DAT was dying & it's a miracle this transfer made it with almost no non-repairable problems. I spent a lot of time with Tom&Mimi's LP in the 70s & hearing nice quality live versions of these songs again is a pleasure. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yrs truly, Knees
