Liner Notes: see photo
Type:
General
Note:
It is unclear what is happening on the Side B of the cassette, I am not sure that everything that is written on J-card actually corresponds to the audio that ends with woman reading her poems, I do not even see any women mentioned there.
Type:
General
Note:
The cassette starts with one voice on another tape, but it lasts only a minute or two
