patch details:
82 seconds was sporadically missing and been seamlessly patched back in using a speed corrected file of the previously circulated FM Reel Master, ID# 141364, which runs close to 3% too fast. It also required inverting both channels to be in phase with this new master reel transfer.

12 00:00 > 00:13 (wbcn dj talk)
13  00:00 > 00:04 (fade in)
21  04:43 > 4:59 (music)

Notes:
This newly discovered 3.75ips reel and transfer is an upgrade to all circulating copies, with greater clarity, definition and dynamic range than any previously circulating version. It is also now the most complete transcription of this show to date and running at accurate speed.  Mahavishnu Orchestra's opener set is also now available from this superior source.  Thank you to Carl Plaster for acquiring the reel and for his meticulous transfer.  Alan (May 2026)
