Notes 1977... what a GREAT year for fantastic shows, and some of the BEST sounding recordings through the decades. This show does NOT disappoint in keeping this "tradition" going!

I was lucky enough to be able to obtain a NON-PCM version of this show from the archives... straight from the original reels (I don't know why, but this show is being worked on by the Vault engineers; my MC source got a transfer from the original reels, and put the audio right onto multi-track 24-bit / 96 kHz sampling rate digital tape (4 sets of 2-track audio, just for "safety reasons" in case one of the channels had a problem. The crispness of this transfer comes shining through. Also, without the show having the PCM (which would have been 8-bit) in the lineage, you tend to get much more of the audio detail coming through.
Trades Allowed Yes
