Local Note
Transferred from original digital audio tape by the New York Public Library's Audio and Moving Image Preservation (PAMI) sound engineering staff at the Library for the Performing Arts on February 5, 2014. To create the streaming file, the sound engineers edited out the recording silences in the preservation file, thus the discrepancies in length between the preservation file and the streaming file. The archival original DAT cassette was recorded entirely with emphasis thus decoding was applied to the digital preservation master.
