Tape 03, Side 01 has a constant buzz and ambient noise, and portions of discussion are difficult to hear. Tape 02 and Tape 03 Side 02 is blank. Tape 04 content was digitally edited to optimize sound quality. Portions of recording remain difficult or impossible to understand due to constant buzz and muffled speaking.
