From "Whats Going On Gas 82" GAS MAgazine, Gilli Smyth and Harry Williamson:
OtterSongs 4 DAEVID ALLEN - Poet For Sale. Original versions of N'Existe tracks + BBC gnome story
(part1). Really a collectors item.                                           STUDIO tape/40 mins.

My notes:
1) Deya 1976 longer version with "I Don't wanna Know About Love..." fading coda
2) Deya 1977 Back tracks use parts appeared on Tali & Orlando Meet The Cockpot Pixies "NITHTOYL" 
3) Deya 1977 different mix
4) Deya 1977 with false start
6) This is what's left from another tape, possibly live in the US 1979, not on Poet For Sale
7) 8) Daevid tells the story of the Radio Gnome Invisible pt. 1 - Flying Teapot

I have another cleaner version on CDR (with noise reduction) which came from a trade which I'm 
going to seed later on; I decided to transfer and share this version because noise reduction 
causes high frequencies reduction and I like this (hissier) version more than the NR one.

Lineage: low gen tape (possibly direct copy) > wav > flac > you. No noise reduction.
Trasferred from analog, uploaded and shared by Maclen Mar 2005.
