Note: RFA's original recording of this show was corrupted.  To re-produce the audio for this archive, RFA simply re-recorded all of the songs used for the show in identical sequence.  As a result, the archived audio includes only music and does not include any of the DJ announcements or voiceovers that were part of the original show.  In addition, the archived audio is approximately 8 minutes longer than the original show, because some of the longer tracks (instrumentals mostly) were faded out early upon completion of the DJ voiceover.  The playlist below includes a few clarifying notations.
