- Local Note
A recording with substantially similar content (Interview with Interview with José Limón [sound recording]) can be found under the call number: *MGZTC 3-42. The discrepency in dates in the two records arises from the use of the year the broadcast was recorded (1964) for the latter record, and the use of the actual broadcast date (January 5, 1965) for this record, respectively.
