Sure does seem like there are a record number of fegs "playing out" this year!

Can someone provide a high quality mp3 or CD of the 2002 radio broadcast of the Soft Boys "WHEN I WAS A KID" and "IF YOU KNOW TIME"? I can't seem to find my versions, but the copy of WHEN I WAS A KID seemed to have a half second of quiet space in the middle of it. Can anyfeg help me? The reward will be riches of the unknown!
