Most tapes/recordings were likely distributed by members of the NAEB
(National Association of Educational Broadcasters) and perhaps it would be
best to contact those stations for information on the recordings held. Many
of these stations have extensive collections. One with which I was involved
in 1964--5 was WUOM-FM. We had an extensive collection of Jazz recordings
and a start up syndicated program on Jazz.

You and research should be in contact with these stations.
