New 400 Box show - 18th August 1978

[Humphrey]

I've just have a great thought - maybe in the future (maybe long future), some Peel-o-phile might "remaster" some of these 400Box recordings by splicing in Hi-Fi recordings of the songs ! It has been done before, with some '67 shows ...

It's a good song, quirky. In 78 a lot of the 'old farts' had new-wave-ified their sound to a degree, esp. Bill Nelson.
