Marianne’s mother Eva Sacher-Masoch is the subject of a new article on the online Austrian dance magazine tanz.at. Written by Philip Ward, the piece called ‘A Life Split In Half’ gives a fascinating account of Eva’s dance career in Germany and Austria before the Second World War. Featuring new research that builds on the anecdotes given in Marianne’s autobiographies and the BBC TV series ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’ the article provides the most complete document of Eva’s early life written so far. You can read the article here: Eva Sacher-Masoch - A Life Split in Half

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.
