        I bought a reel-to-reel tape recorder from about 5 years ago and it came with a bunch of 1/4 inch tapes. Now I was going to sell some of those and went through them so that nothing I recorded on would be sold. Most of the tapes had some generic 80s rock music recorded on, but then I came to a mono recording, from what I understand, this album on it. It appears from this site that the recordings were partly made in . Wonder if this is a original tape from some of the sessions.
