I found this on the back of a National Theatre recording. Reception was clearly not good for the last track. I have removed all the idiotic comments from the programme presenter, except for one.

Only someone not in his right mind would have attempted to record this session! Nightride was a 3 hour programme on Radio 2 I think, at least five songs were generally recorded for broadcast between Monday and Friday, usually one on each programme (but not necessarily) and at a different time each night - you work it out! I did this one other time to record the Albions, but managed to get a listening copy from the BBC which I uploaded some months ago.
