Story
You may think it is enough to have climbed Mount Everest from the outside, but not a bit of it. In this story our heroes are made to do it the hard way — from the inside!
Technical
Originally recorded on T1/AG/3965 (Agfa FR tape stock at 15 ips ¼" tape recorded at St. Hilda's, Maida Vale). This tape survived intact at TS but was cut about in the production of the stereo PotG issue. Unfortunately the cuts were not kept, and these have been restored from the Vintage Goons disc (10" TS LP).
