Note: While a "master reel" seems unlikely for 1988 (the VHS is more likely the master tape), the frequency spectrum suggests that this is indeed a pre-broadcast reel, with content above 15K Hz.

Known issues:

There is announcer banter for the first 20 seconds, and then a nasty little cut of four seconds, in Big Boss Man. The cut suggests that somebody in the control booth punched the wrong button, but I haven't heard other FM versions of this show and could not confirm that.

Drums and space are seamless and may be reattached if, for example, you wanted disk 3 to begin with Terrapin.

Thanks to Skip Jenkins for the disks. Seeded by Peter Braverman (braverman@earthlink.net), February 2003.
