This tape was passed along with the last one I up'd by the Tape Master himself - Troy from oldschoolhiphop.com
The man is an encyclopedia of old school hip hop...and works to ensure that stuff like this is preserved for future generations.
So many tapes though are mislabeled or unlabeled that old flyers really help out a lot. I recently stumbled onto a great site for figuring out dates of unlabeled shows:

-- this goes to show how many great old school recordings there could potentially be out there.
