Dear Friends of ANPA,
In 1992 a recording was made of Conversations between Clive Kilmister, Ted Bastin and David McGoveran. The topics discussed included the Combinatorial Hierarchy, a focus of ANPA.
This recording will be part of the ANPA legacy along with many other works by the founders and members of ANPA over the years.
It has been redone and packaged in a more modern style and is presented to you as a souvenir of ANPA and to thank you for your contributions.
