“I avoided the common for a few weeks and repaired my headphones with masking tape, but as the weather gradually got warmer we started going there again on the way home. 'We' being me, Gaz and Dom and self-confessed 'token girl' Daze. Dom was into reciting routines from the Arena documentary on writer William S. Burroughs that someone in the college library had videoed when it was on telly a couple of months earlier and which we must have seen a dozen times not including the rewinding of favourite sequences so knew those routines inside out in the way that school friends with older brothers knew Monty Python.”

A Porky Prime Cut

Whoda Tortology

This is the tape which DJ Krome & Time got the License sample from - Saxon vs Maverick in Leeds in 1985. You have Papa Levi, Tippa Irie, Daddy Colonel and Trevor Sax and Muscle Head behind the controls.

Usual stuff, this audio file was recorded from a cassette to the computer.  I used Izotope RX and Adobe Audition to edit the audio passing it through a Master rack, enjoy!!!
