a this and that (and those and these) production.
do not sell this recording.
share freely, losslessly and gaplessly.
if you have a longer or lower-generation version of this show,
please share it.

only the end part of "Imaginary Voyage" is played.
unfortunately the recording cuts out before it ends.
not sure how much is missing there,
but the rest of this show appears to be included here.
not sure if it's an FM broadcast, more likely a sbd since the crowd
sounds very distant and there are no radio announcements, or signal static.
the tape was speed adjusted on playback because it was running quite slow
but it sounds like it ought to now, except that it is obviously from a
few generations removed from the master, and/or the master
or a copy previous to this one was not made with the optimum quality.
it's not that hissy, a little bit only, and it's fairly consistent,
but the fidelity is not exactly as crisp as a clean sbd or FM usually is.
good enough for most ears to enjoy though, for a 1978 "unknown gen" tape.
