The recordings on the "I Can Hear It Now" discs give aural evidence of
having passed through a short-wave link, but my recollection of the
recordings on "A Reporter Remembers" is that those sounded like source
transcriptions -- that is, not including the short-wave link. Presumably
the original audio, if it wasn't handed off to CBS for "A Reporter
Remembers", is in the hands of the BBC or the British Library. CBS
presumably has tapes, from which the album was made.
