KWST (FM) Radio Broadcast
82 minutes

This is something I have been looking for since I first discovered torrents. I recorded this off the air in 1978, then lost the tapes in storage for years. Thinking "I would just download a more complete copy from somewhere".
All six shows are now circulating (3 nights, 2 shows a night)
Thanks to T,
Only the early show from Feb. 4th is from a radio broadcast.
But different from this one.(First live broadcast I would guess).
This recording is from a later rebroadcast that used both the early & late shows, of Feb. 4th. And used the late show for the first two songs.

I have compared this recording note for note (matrix) with the audience recordings to be sure and to set speed/pitch.

This new version adds:
Complete version of "Afterwards"
and almost 2 songs from the late show now from FM
This does not replace or upgrade any previous releases. It stands alone.

This is the way it was rebroadcast,
01. Introduction / greeting**
02. The Lie (Bernini's Saint Theresa)**
03. In The End**
04. Time Heals*
05. (This Side Of) The Looking Glass*
06. Station ID
07. Been Alone So Long*
08. Out OF My Book*
09. Last Frame*
10. Afterwards*
11. Mirror Images*
12. The Mousetrap (Caught In)*
13. House With No Door*
14. Station ID (a few lines from Shakespeare King Henry V, Act III, Scene 1)*
15. Still Life*
16. A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers / The Sleepwalkers*
17. Radio Credits
