I'm guessing some of this was used on the expanded version of  A New Distance on Emanem, which is essential listening. (I've got the original ACTA version)

JOHN STEVENS @ Terry Day Benefit 1991

The first SME piece has been issued on the excellent 'Hot and Cold Heroes' (Emanem) as 'One for Terry Day', although with a small section edited out.  If you don't have that cd, I heartily recommend you buy it.

On a side issue, I have only just realised that I've been zipping files rather than a folder of files.  Sorry about that.

Enjoy.
