Content DescriptionReturn to Top

See logbook for listing of contents. Per collector, some of the tapes have a few minutes of "joke music" at the beginning (eg., 92-22a OT). Included is a nagasvarum selection played by 'Ghandi with the Winds', and a calliope piece by J. Thunder Zeus.

Transmission Data: Digital files created 4/2010 - 92-11.1ab.wav and 92-11.2ab.wav (48 kHz, 24-bit); work disc copies produced 4/2010 (work disc copies of tapes 3-50 still need to be made).
