An Atari BASIC program on a vinyl LP

Hello Atari 8-bit fellows!

 

In the 80s, it was not uncommon to find ZX Spectrum programs (etc, ...) on Flexidisc, cassette, radio broadcast, etc...
However, I thought there was NOTHING for my Atari 800XL.
Nothing until I read the latest issue of the French magazine "Canard PC Hardware" n°49, July-Aug 2021 (this mag is about the latest hardware for PC enthusiasts).
It contains an article about programmes released on vinyl back then (in the 80s).
And I discovered this LP by "Adolphson-Falk" called "Över Tid Och Rum" which contains (ONLY on the vinyl version, track is omitted on the CD) a track that is actually an Atari BASIC program.

 

Link to the record: Adolphson-Falk - Över Tid Och Rum | Releases | Discogs
Link to an article on the subject: Decoding the Adolphson-Falk data signal – Logic Applied knowledge base

(I'm attaching the .CAS file)

 

I would like to submit this information for inclusion in a future version of the FAQ, hence my question:
Except for this disc, does anyone know of any other media (LP/MC/CD/etc...) that contains an audio track that is actually an Atari BASIC program (for 8-bit, obviously)?

I hope you're okay if your findings are quoted in a forthcoming FAQ update...

 

Thank you in advance for your contributions and comments,
Kind regards,
Laurent
