patch details:
74 seconds was sporadically missing and has 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.

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 with my gratitude to Professor Goody, has now been speed and pitch corrected.
I would also like to express my gratitude to Nick J's in depth analysis of this show, which I used as a guide to retrack and notate this recording far more accurately than it has ever been done before. Nick's excellent blog is still available here:

Mahavishnu Orchestra's opener set is also now available from this superior source.
Biggest thanks of all to Carl Plaster for acquiring the reel and for his meticulous transfer.
This was truly a labor of love and is a wonderful upgrade to what I consider one of the greatest, not to mention most intense, American radio broadcasts ever!
