The published recording on The Goon Show Compendium Vol 13 was taken from a domestic off-air tape recording. The recording sounds as if the bias of the machine was mis-set — the timpani rolls indicating The Lost Drummer scarcely registered at all and had to be substituted from the Show 20 recording. The tape runs out before the punch line of the final sketch, but this can possibly be inferred.[1]
