Time: m s


lineage: somewhat murky...

Most likely 1st Gen, tapes came from someone very close to
the recorder/owner of the masters.
Was lead to believe these were mixing-desk recordings,
but evidence points to a sperate deck in the location of the
mixing-desk.
Some chatter on this - but doesn't spoil it IMHO.
