I heard it on WSHE 103.5 (She’s Only Rock ‘n Roll) https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1395382632. They used to play the SHE-Sides at 5:00pm and the Midnight Concerts (Hello Lou Reed, Little Feat, Bruce Springsteen,) on Friday/Saturday nights. Then I would pop in to Yesterday & Today Records (original location, Bird & 63rd, Miami).
