    Press Any Key was a band featuring guitarist John Russell from the UK Christian band 'After The Fire' after ATF folded in 1982-3, shortly after its international hit 'Der Kommissar'. I believe the 1987 LP was the only release by 'Press Any Key'.

    This is a nice tape, which I'm grateful to hear, so 'Thanks'.

    Perhaps being a little picky, but the audio sounds clipped/overloaded to me (and I'm no audiophile). Audacity does show the Press Any Key track as clipping throughout, so I assume this applies through the whole transfer. Is there any chance you would be able to get a better transfer?

    BTW I can confirm that the PAK track is a different version to that on the released album.
