Show

 * Name

 * YYYY-MM-DD
 * 1982-05-27


 * Comments
 * A heavily (and in some places, rather clumsily) edited show (presumably to fit on one side of a C60 cassette): this appears to have been done primarily in order to capture the repeat of the Michael Smith session (debut broadcast 04 May 1982, further repeat on 28 October 1982). This is unfortunate, as the recording quality is extremely good.

 * Michael Smith, one and only session (repeat). Recorded 1982-04-24. No known commercial release.
