I managed to find the video cassette masters after all these years. I have removed all the idiotic comments from the programme presenter, except for one.

Only someone not in his right mind would have attempted to record these sessions! Nightride was a 3 hour programme on Radio 2 (12-3am), I think at least five songs were generally recorded for broadcast between Monday and Friday, usually one on each programme (but not necessarily) and at a different time each night - you work it out!
