Like Recorder 1, this recording is the work of the N brothers from Hamburg. An outstanding capture, it’s likely that the brothers used a Uher Report reel to reel and two Sennheiser microphones at high speed as they did for 25 February 1971.

Marbal’s copy, which he received from his trading contact Chris D in February 1992, is unusual for being recorded with Dolby C. I switched it on for playback because the tape sounded a lot worse in the off position. My only change was to apply a speed correction of +2.33% using élastique 2.28 Pro. With thanks to goldenband for his speed correction advice.
