@ Zager & Evans cover

Notes: This is a poor sounding copy. I did some treble boosting and light compression, but it's not great. I am only posting this new transfer because it's a complete one, while others have cuts and fadeouts at the end of some of the songs. There was a splice in the middle of Laughing, but otherwise it's pretty complete.

Tape generously loaned from Aadam Jacobs.
