The One That Was Played Backwards... and a bonus

[ken garner]

Here are the links for the show of 18th December 1973, as advertised. Apologies for the 
size, but I had to experiment with settings to avoid that mp3 shuddering we all know and 
fear, given the high levels of mid-low frequencies - i think - on the tape. I have also 
pasted here my transcript of what's on the tape and what I know from my research to be 
missing from it, having failed to recall how to do new show wiki entry for the wiki (sorry 
Steve). As a bonus, I have also disocovered in a box the Offspring Christmas Special from 
Christmas Eve 1996: it's highly inconsequential, but has at least two amusing moments of 
audio actuality with John recording his links at home, one involving a ladder and a pile of 
CDs, and one sheepdog Bridget. Happy Christmas everyone

ken

PS. Has anybody tried / succeeded in downloading the Christmas New Order special from 
1998? (see previous postings) My megaupload file manager tells me no-one has been 
interested. Is that right?
