This is another multi-generation tape that I got back in the 1980s/1990s when I was trading cassette tapes through the mail.  While it's a few generations down the line from a master, it's a decent listen without ridiculous amounts of hiss.

Thompson mentions "the Buffalo Folk Festival" which is confirmed by a mention in the Buffalo News of April 10, 1987. The print ad proves it was the "15th Annual Buffalo Folk Festival."

I've tossed in a few vintage articles about the actual Killerman Gold Posse, who had been robbing people on the London subway ("the Underground," I believe they call it...). 18 year old criminals who would now be 56 years old here in 2025.

The guitar is low in the mix and the vocals are prominent for the first few songs.
