Great songs and great memories from the intersection of East Pine Street and Broadway. AM Only & Stardust fans, this one's for you. Recording/publication date unknown; probably early 1990s but I guess it really doesn't matter since it truly is "Timeless Pop".

Speed correction -26.75%. Usual "no-further-processing" boillerplate applies. This one has probably the most severe side length discrepancy I've seen yet. 33 seconds! UPDATE 2022 May 06: I have done a second transfer of this recording which aims to correct the time discrepancy between sides. Basically I ran the tape through three fast-wind cycles (3 FF + 3 rewind) to loosen it up a bit more before playback. At four seconds' difference it's still not perfect but it's a significant improvement over what had been here previously. If you had downloaded the old fileset, you should consider deleting and replacing them with these new ones.
