FLAC and 1st seeding on 11-21-08 by Jim Blackwood

This was recorded for broadcast on the radio program 'Dead Air' - 91.3 FM KXCI Community Radio in Tucson, AZ - airing originally on October 24, 1992.

This show is incorrectly listed in db.etree.org at 1991-10-17 - and that source is possibly an earlier straight CAS1 > CDR transfer made in the late 90's. It is also possible that an off air copy from the broadcast in 1992 is circulating as well.
