Total Time (Drew51 1st gen source only) 90.11 min
Notes:
This recording is scattered with drop-out flaws all over, most of them not too annoying, but still perceivable at some spots.
In case one channel was intact around each of them, the flawed channel could get replaced or mixed over with material from the intact side.
Most of these drop outs have meanwhile been fixed or replaced with patches from the alternate source (JS-doctorzap Master).
Credits:

Thanks to JS and to doctorzap for sharing the alternate source version with Zappateers.
