Local Note
Transferred from original open tape reel by the New York Public Library's Audio and Moving Image Preservation (PAMI) sound engineering staff at the Library for the Performing Arts on July 7, 2014. To create the streaming file, the sound engineers edited out the silence at the end of the preservation file, thus the discrepancies in length between the archival original and the streaming file.
