- The sound quality ranges from good (interviews with Rachael Yocum and Harry Bernstein) to poor (interview with Richard Lindgren, which is low volume and marred by "tape hiss"). However, except for the beginning of the interview with Richard Lindgren, the speakers' voices are easily intelligible.
- The processing and cataloging of this recording was made possible in part by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. The support of the National Endowment for the Arts is also gratefully acknowledged.
