The two photos with Chuck Norris…it should also be mentioned that the other gentleman in the photos is Bob ‘boards don’t hit back’ Wall of Enter the Dragon fame! There are two recordings floating around for each show…I should know…I taped them…lost the masters in a fire…but I traded/sold at least four copies in 81 out of a Circus ad!
