Marbal received his tape in September 1987 from Rolf Ossenberg.

I considered dropping one of the channels but concluded both are contributing, so used iZotope RX3’s Azimuth functions to repair the stereo imbalance and phase issues that had occurred with improper tape head alignment or other speed related issues in the lineage.

The tape runs slow and slows down song by song. Goldenband advised me on the correction values, which ranged from +2.04% for ROTSON to +3.23% for AHM. You may notice a slight drift over the course of the longer pieces.

Set The Controls cuts on side A and continues on side B.

The concert programme produced for the week-long Musikforum event reveals that the band's appearance on stage was preceded by a performance of Mozart's KV 467 piano concerto by famous Austrian pianist Friedrich Gulda. I am including some scans of photocopies from the programme that an Austrian friend sent to me in the 1990s.
