Since I always tried to make "The TRS Scrap Pile" our "oddest" show back in the day, I made episode 11 even odder by running the theme music at half speed.It was also a Randy Haney clip heavy episode for some odd reason. Episode 13 had two segments of an experiment called "The Audio Artist", which I loosely based on the short avant-garde short films named "The Video Artist" which used to air on the USA Network's overnight show "Night Flight" back then. The opening theme music in this episode is "interrupted" by brief audio from an adult film, another way you can tell we NEVER actually "broadcast" these shows over the airwaves. After listening again after all these years, episode 13 was the worst, most boring, and pointless episode of the series, mainly because of "The Audio Artist" segments. As a "completest", I digitized it anyway. It is what it is.
As for the flagship series "The Tape & Record Show" episodes, it seems the weekday episodes that week were mostly "Monty Python's Flying Circus" concentrated, except Fridays episode. Don't ask why, I can barely remember what happened yesterday, nonetheless 1979!
