And a surprise bonus: In the episode, I had mentioned how wild the Chip Chan Kick track gets when you reverse it. Well, so, here is a sound file with the track in both directions, backward first, and then forward. It is taken from an Archive SUPER BONUS four-part series called “Back to Front - the 100” featuring each track from both C1E52 “Backtracks” -AND- the supplemental Channel F “F-isode” “Backtracks - the OTHER 50”, where each track is featured in both directions (backward first). If this sounds interesting, go find them on Archive.org, along with the other six Backtracks-related SUPER BONUSES out there:
