Another rambunctious '80 blazer, especially the run out to close. Checkin' the Aud with the Nak caps.

One of my first tape acquisitions, much of this show withstands eternal listening, and several of the songs, UJB, BTW, FOD to name a few are real standout versions. Faced with the choice of where to put my chip, I'm going to vote for this Jack Straw as its a bit down the list and is utterly unique... but I'm afraid I may have already voted for the UJB... or the BTW... or...
