One day in 1987, @clarewadd.bsky.social and I hitched up to Birmingham to sit in on the mixing of SARAH 1. We got a lift off a man who told us he’d driven all the way from Plymouth and hadn’t slept. He dropped us in Redditch. We found a bus, ate sandwiches on the platform of Selly Oak station, [1/7]
