Taped by myself in 1980 & never shared until now. Great sound mix by the Rockpalast crew, more sophisticated than their 1979 radio broadcasts. This sounds darker than the audio source that is up on YouTube (account Darren Henderson) with more emphasis on the bottom end. Recording first shared on thetradersden by 1bgsky on 7 July 2019. Please do not upload on other trackers without permission.
