Notes: Upgrade My copy comes from a lower generation tape source and sound qaulity is far, FAR superior to the widely-circulated "At the Beeb" bootleg (Yellow Cat, YC 018), which runs slow, is comparatively "muddy", and omits the final song. This also presents the second show complete ("One of Us Cannot Be Wrong" was left off the bootleg CD). Lineage not known -- the presence of the annoucer's voice suggests it was taped from the broadcast rather than from a BBC master tape, but the clarity suggests the recording must have been made via a line connection from the junction box (as with the improved version of the Dylan 1965 BBC concert) rather than a "mike in front of the telly" setup (no "audio out" sockets on TV sets in those days). TV broadcast > ?reel > WAV > FLAC
