JP plays TD

[ajking106]

Cheers Ken, Actually I'm not interested in the session tapes at all. 
As you say it was all studio tapes sent in by the band (I seem to 
remember John mentioning that there was also a problem with non-
British musicians appearing on the Radio, due to the musicians union, 
therefore very few German/ Krautrock artists appeared on the show). 
What I'm interested in is what John had to say, not the music (as an 
avid TD fan I've probably got most of their stuff, official or 
otherwise). I recently bought a letter from John that he sent to the 
group in 1973 saying how much he loved Zeit and that he and Sheila 
used to listen to it at night 'to clear the muck out of our heads' 
after hearing 20 or 30 not very good LPs during the day.
