Due to the nature of this site (i.e. that the files are on other servers), I can't tell if the links are still active unless I try and download them myself. And I can't be bothered, not even for you, dear friends. If any links have expired, and you still want to download the tape in question, please e-mail me and I'll do something about it.

But if you've got a decent connection and a fair amount of spare time, they're exactly the sort of thing this web site was set up to share. Best played on i-Tunes, I'm told.
