It's not often that a scathing review like this gets written:

or that people jeer at a NY Philharmonic concert!
Listen and judge for yourself:

Recording found on a yard-sale reel tape, the review was included in the box. Surprisingly good
fidelity for quarter-track off-air taping, although the channels were reversed and there's
considerable edge warp on the ancient acetate-backed 1-mil tape.
Happy New Year!
