A friend of a friend lived next door to the drummer and borrowed these tapes in the 1980's and made 2 copies.
Figuring that the soundman made a set for each of the band members this would be a second generation tape.
The 1st generation tape supplied to the drummer looks as though it was duplicated at Automatt Studios (J card scan included).
Possibly a high speed duplicator could explain where the tape artifacts mentioned below came from.

There was a continuous tone around 15.7 KHz and this was attenuated even though you can't hear up there.
Small dropouts were repaired and I might have missed a few but fixed most of them.

Tape flip during "Aqua Marine" lost an unknown amount and was spliced together.
Another tape flip during "Super Boogie" lost an unknown amount and was spliced together.

The same tape flips were also found on the "FM" sourced copy which traces it back to these band tapes.
A bootleg CD "Swiss Chocolate" was pressed during the 1990's but is missing the jams at the end of the show.

Although those copies have been around for a while this is the first time these cassettes have been digitized.

Thanks to ethiessen1 for the great cover art on this and so many other shows.

Thanks to Professor Goody for checking the pitch/speed.

Finally thanks to Flex Hamilton for loaning me his precious tapes so this could be shared.
