This has never been on TTD and isn't currently on dime.

There are no station ID's or any DJ talking. The tape was labeled with the broadcast date of June 25, 1978.

The only other version I've heard comes from dime member: Coyote from October 2009, with this lineage:

FMS--?--CDR("Total Abandon")--EAC--Cool Edit Pro 2.1--FLAC (Level 8). Time: 67:02 Size: 347MB

I've listened and compared the Coyote and Stonecutter versions.

In my opinion I would say that the fidelty and clarity is superior on Stonecutter's tape.

As you can see this new version is basically the same time length and noticably larger in size.

Both versions start and end at exactly the same spots. Which makes me think that this would be an upgrade of Coyote's version.

According to the poster, Patti played 2 shows on this day. (photo attached below)
