For the TikTok folks: this is the recording I mentioned. I thought it was online, but I couldn’t find it, so I’m uploading my copy. A friend gave it to me years ago (unknown source). I also had an older tape/cassette version — when I find it, I’ll compare the quality and share if it’s better. I think it might not have the annoying hum or clipping.
