The geneology of the primary source tape for these discs is MSR > C > D > HD

There are conflicting reports whether the SBD master is on cassettes or
reels, but it sounds like it would have to be reels.

The last 26 seconds of Here Comes Sunshine is missing on our copy of the SBD
and is patched in using an AUD master from a cassette copy of unknown low
generation.

22 seconds in Eyes Of The World are patched from this AUD source also.

The 22-second cut in Eyes looks like a cassette tape flip introduced when
the reels were transcribed to 1st gen cassette. The missing conclusion of
Here Comes Sunshine is harder to account for on this hypothesis, but there
seems a reasonable chance that both missing segments are intact on the
master reels. Meanwhile, this tree.

First set highlights include TLEO, Row Jimmy, GSET and China Cat > Rider.
The Here Comes Sunshine times almost 16 minutes, is the longest known on
circulating tape and probably the best. The Dark Star is the third longest
known at 43:28, and one of the all time best. It is the fraternal twin of
11/11/73.

Dave Greenberg did the patches. David Gans supplied DATs of the 1st gen
cassette SBD and Jim Powell instigated the project, supplied the AUD
cassette used to patch the SBD's defects, and wrote this note.
