Some of you on Facebook already know about this, but I found a cassette tape recently while cleaning out my closet. I had to buy a cheap cassette player from Amazon and wait for it to come before I could find out what was on it.
Dreams do come true!! It was what I was hoping it would be: the 3-song acoustic set with Simon and Andy (and Anna) that was done the afternoon before the Duran Duran concert that night (St. Louis, 2005). I can't remember if someone at home didn't get home in time to start the recording from the radio or what, but I have a little more than half the show on tape. It was broadcast simultaneously over 2 stations, I believe, but it was called The River Lounge. I have most of the second song (Chains) and all of the last song (SAP). Simon and Andy talked a lot in between the songs.
With that being said, several people told me to get it copied to a digital format. I spoke with my instructor on Monday, who is a sound guy with his own studio, and he said he'd be more than happy to convert it to a .wav file!
Now I have done a lot of searching online and via phone for many years to get the full broadcast, but had no luck. As far as I'm concerned, this may be the only copy of this set!

Obviously not the full thing, but a quick search & it looks as though the version of SAP from the broadcast was officially released on the "Songs from the River Lounge Vol 2" compilation CD.

Would like to have the track as well... No probs - though, whilst it's a 2nd hand copy, it was only £4.40 including PayPal's exchange rate & shipping to the UK on eBay.
(i simply couldn't justify spending almost 4x the amount for a new one from Amazon.com)
Yeah, it's a bit weird that none of us had heard of it &, as a official charity CD, that there'd been no mention on the official site at the time...
...though it's possible that, with the radio station itself suddenly changing formats, sacking all of the DJs & rebranding as MOViN 101.1 in September 2006, any effort that would have gone into publicising it disappeared.
Anyway, always something new to learn about.

(+ maybe customs fees) At the time i typed the previous post there was a 2nd one available from the listing i got mine from for $4.96 + $1 postage to the UK... ...so i assume someone else on here bought the other one. Yeah, i couldn't see how they'd manage to ship it for $1 & so half-expected it to be cancelled, but i've had both an order dispatched email & a tracking number through so i've no reason to believe that they're not honouring the sale. [Edit] & feedback left for me as well.

Oh, the 2nd one from the seller i bought from sold less than 3 1/2 hours ago - so after i'd posted about the cost of mine, rather than the original post from last night about it existing.
Yeah, until the copies run out, for people in the US then Amazon.com may be worth looking at as there are (or at least were) new ones available for not very much - but the shipping to get a copy here was just too much for what it's worth to me.
Good to hear that you've got a cheap copy as well though.
