<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Found out about this record a little bit after its initial discovery, copies changed hands, I idly thought one would turn up when I least expected it. Now with the reissue it's gone from an eBay saved search that would ring up once or twice every six months to a daily occurrence. Ever stranger are the mass market writeups:</span><br />

Clearly remember overpacked streets, people jostling for position to get a decent view, and a pretzel cart bumped around. A plastic ketchup bottle had been knocked over in the scrum, all of a sudden a New York City police officer, who should have been directing traffic, decided that this was the perfect moment to apply his leather heel. I remember being mesmerized by his lazy stream of squirting ketchup, until I snapped out of it and asked my mother why a cop would do such a mean thing.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">"New York City cops are bastards", she replied. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Huge impact on my tender young psyche.

Some of the evening was recorded, there's a small excerpt below (can't host the entirety of the four hour file). <a href="http://threethreefourfive.blogspot.com/">Dave</a> killed it with the italo/disco/kraut and Silver Apples jams.
