Gary, every time I tune in the last hour of your show, I think "Man, this is great, I gotta go back and catch the rest of it on the archives!" Sometimes I can and sometimes I can't, but it's all good -- real good.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:53pm
Gary:

Cambodian Cassette Archives and Radio Phnom Penh have some of the post-70s stuff (but not stuff i've played here, except for the bed music)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:54pm

Otherwise, Don't Think I've Forgotten from Dust-to-Digital, and then search for "Cambodian Rocks" -- there are several volumes
