Glastonbury 1993

[alanforduk]

>> I agree - a good quality mono is better than a hissy/poor stereo.

Er, I never said 'good quality', but thanks for the encouragement anyway !

Here it is then, a home-made compilation tape of broadcasts from Glastonbury 1993 (25,26,27th Jun).
The programs were hosted by JP and AK, and both are on great form and many of the links are pretty hilarious.
Johnnie Walker also appears, mainly introducing the bands.
Apologies for the quality, which varies from poor to appalling (you might want to skip The Saw Doctors), and for some of the music choices.
You may be able to spot where I've patched-in a couple of tracks from my own CD collection. These replace records played, not live performances.

Final note: These are taken from a copy of the tape. The orginal was sent to another member of this group who offered to rip it for me a few years ago, but I've genuinely forgotten who it was. It's a good job I made copies. 
Are you still out there?

Cheers

Alan
