Mystery Morse Code track on an early Frank Sidebottom audio cassette compilation. Retrieved from Chris Sievey's archive by

While digitising an audio cassette that was mainly Frank Sidebottom keyboard backing tracks - great for the documentary soundtrack, but not what was written on the cassette box, of course! - I came across a track on Side B that's just a message in Morse Code.

Could it be a secret message from Chris Sievey? Is it something vital the world needs to know? Is it a 30 year old total waste of time?
