*a-c) There is an overlap at each tape flip as the taper went back and recorded the start of the track, therefore the total number of minutes is greater than the show length. Presumably this was a R2R to tape or tape to tape transfer.
*3) Many thanks to Decktician, Rocker for organisation and Tim for digitisation
