THE DATE
The date that came with this tape was
"recorded March 15, 1997 - broadcast March 24, 1997"

However, the announcer says,
"this was recorded last Thursday night"
Thursday was March 20.
If we assume the broadcast date is correct (it's easier to know when you
recorded it)
we'll put the recording date as the previous Thursday, March 20

MY TAPE
I got this cassette from a great trader in England shortly after it was
broadcast.
Unfortunately, this trader lost his entire collection (which was very
extensive). A tragic loss, and a real shame the way it happened.

1st gen copy from his master
You do hear some FM whine (squeal, or whatever) in the quieter and interview
portions.
This tape has a VERY low volume level, and naturally, a higher than desirable
level of tape hiss.
Since these songs are long the requisite tape flips (3 of them) mean we lose a
bit.
You will hear a skip at about the 45, 90, and 135 minute mark.
Hopefully they won't be too annoying.
Besides splicing these sections together I have done nothing to this recording.

LINEAGE
off air radio > master cassette > my cassette > digitized with Audacity > Flac

A raw transfer.
No noise reduction or eq was applied.
Tape player (Nakamichi BX-2) azimuth adjustment was done.
