grner1 notes 2020-12-25: For many years, KUSP-FM stored many of their pre-broadcast reels in the outer hallway of their studios. After a few times visiting friends who DJ’ed at the station, I convinced one of them to let me borrow a few, one or two at a time to transfer and then bring right back. I grabbed what looked most interesting, and this was one of them! By the way, the venue, Paradiso, was in The Catalyst original location, on the ground floor of the St. George Hotel. (The Catalyst moved to its present location in 1976.)
