Originally these discs were listed as SBD> DAT> CD, but this was obviously an FM source, as it contained much DJ blather, including station ID as WPYX in Albany. All of that is now one big elision on the dustbin of GD history. I don't think it's a pre-FM, as the top end is slightly constricted, consistent with a 15 KHz cutoff on FM broadcasts. But I'm speculating.

As I received it, the tracking was, to say the least, a complete mess, with consecutive "tuning" tracks, tracks marked "transition," and no track that began within five seconds of the song itself. I ripped, retracked, converted AIFF to WAV, and Shortened. Here it is, a pretty darn nice show.

This seed launched January 6, 2002, by Peter Braverman <braverman@earthlink.net>. Thanks to Doug Nawrocki for pushing me to get it done.
