In the early 80s I was Sales Manager for a certain European Auto Dealer in Hermosa Beach, California. We sold a new car to Marc Brickman, Bruce's Lighting Manager. Marc lived in West LA and brought his car in for standard servicing. Back in those days we would manually update the owner's manual maintenance chart when the servicing was finished. The owners manual was in the glove compartment, as was a single cassette tape. I played it in the car for a few seconds, then made a mad dash to our bachelor beach house on the Strand in Hermosa Beach about two miles away. I tossed the tape to my buddy Les to perform the dub on the quite analog dual tape deck rig. I hurried back to work and Les returned the tape about an hour later before Marc picked up his serviced car. The reason Marc had that tape was explained during the show. As Bruce introduces "Stolen Car", he mentions going to a friends wedding at a temple… well that was Marc's wedding. The tape warp in "Stolen Car" was where the original dubbed audio tape had ripped and Les had to use scotch tape to piece it back together.
