1. Lou Reed Berlin
            2. Lighthouse "Pretty Lady"

1. PFM Photos of Ghosts
2. Billy Cobham Spectrum
             3. John Coltrane Concert in Japan


Concert in Japan is the original two disc live set released in 1973 but recorded in Tokyo in July of 1966. Coltrane's wife Alice plays piano. Pharoah Sanders, Rashied Ali and Jimmy Garrison make up the rest of the band. It's now part of a four CD box set.


WECI-FM Earlham College , Richmond, Indiana

   Cambridge England prog rockers Public Foot the Roman  found a sweet spot between Wishbone Ash's double guitar attack and Yes's vocals and keyboards.
