  1. I have this. Mine is from an FSRS Radio Broadcast. The note that came with the recording are listed as:

    – There is some minor pops and crackles that lead me to believe this is sourced from Vinyl.Very listenable.

    – Overall, a nice sounding recording. This recording was made from the date that Miles was beaten and arrested by police outside of the club. This resulted in Miles Suing the city and a long legal battle through autumn.
