The One That Was Played Backwards

[Ed Duffy]

Great stuff Ken: look forward to it. Also thanks for the explanation
of 'tape out/tape in' in TPS. Before then I didn't realise how anyone
could even manage to play a tape backwards, let alone accidentally.
Amusingly, the newest release of No Pussyfooting actually contains the
backwards versions of the tracks as bonuses, along with a half-speed
version which was another DJ's mistake.

I got hold of pretty good quality versions of the two Fripp & Eno
tracks, introduced by JP, a good while ago, when they were mislabelled
as a 'Peel Session'. It'll be nice to hear them in context in the show.

Eddie.
