(dissenting). I respectfully dissent. I share the majority’s incredulity at the similarities between the two sentencing transcripts. In reviewing these documents, I am also concerned that the "amended” transcript embodies proceedings which apparently occurred two hours prior to the "original” proceedings. Whatever the reasons for these anomalies, I feel that they should *169not inure to the detriment of the defendant. Since the sentence of 7-1/2 to 10 years was improper under People v Tanner, 387 Mich 683; 199 NW2d 202 (1972), I would modify defendant’s sentence to 80 months to 10 years.
