Terry Jack's cut two versions of "Seasons in The Sun" one is the regular maudlin version, the second is one where he rips everyone a new one he thanked in the other version.

22.49 UTC carrier came up
22.54 UTC 2nd stage of PA? or fade in
22.55 UTC some bits of audio came through
22.58 UTC music, illegible
23.01 UTC Dionne Warwick - I Saw A Little Prayer
...
23.47 UTC Afroman - Because I Got High
23.51 UTC SSTV, but nearly illegible here
...
23.57 UTC carrier gone
Direct reception, but very weak here in NW Germany, but I verified the tracks above.
Thanks for the show and I would love to receive your eQSL!
