Here what was told to me and this is what I know.An intern at WMMR in the 80's recorded this show to ananalog source. Being such a tremendous recording thisindividual longed to re-record the master reel straight to a digital source as they became increasingly popular in theearly 90's. At this point the intern had moved on and no longer had this type of access. However, he rememberedperiodically that the studio or the station allowed access to the 'records room' for research activity. Posing as auniversity affiliate doing research on 70's radio advertisingthis individual gained access to the master reels with aportable Sony DAT deck. The room was laid out with shelves with tables on the far end with cassette decks, reel to reeland 'cart' type recorders. Unplugging the cart recorder and connecting the DAT deck history was then digitized. If you look at the timeline it was more than likely recorded with a Sony TCD D3. This early DAT deck was actually graced with a very nice A to D chip. I believe the same chip found in the Panasonic SV3700. Therefore a very nice digital transcript was made that day.At this time I was working at a mail order facility selling DAT tapes. Which at the time were very expensive, $12 or more per tape. The individual with this Bonnie recording told us the story above. Is it true?  Who knows but he use to buy DAT tapes from us regularly. He made us a cassette of this famous recording and we bugged him to make us a DAT copy for months. He did not have the means to do DAT to DAT. On a visit to the 'store' in Stamford in 1992 we finally were able to make 1 DAT clone. I subsequently cloned that DAT. Most likely the clone was made between a Panasonic SV3700 and a Sony 59ES. But, possibly between 2 SV3700's. At the 'shop' we had so many DAT decks with many configurations.I have no doubt this is direct from the Pre-FM Reels and one listen and you will have no doubt either. Easily one of the finest recordings by any musician at any time.--------------------------------------------------------------
