Technical
Originally recorded on TLO 68149 (15 ips ¼" tape recorded at Broadcasting House). This tape survived at TS until the 1970 purge where it was wiped. A future-seeing BBC TS engineer unofficially created a 7½ ips copy before the original TLO tape was wiped. In 1986 this unoffical copy was discovered in a cupboard in TS and was used to create the version included on Compendium Vol 1.
