DAP Note:
Seven tracks making up the second band of the original reel, are referred to in the catalogue record, but were not present on the CD that was sent out to Sony Memnon for digitisation. This anomoly has not yet been accounted for. The tracklist in the item level description comprises both bands, but track-level descriptions for the Band Two were deleted as there is no corresponding digital (wav) file.
