pbcoreAnnotation:
Date confusion: the WBAI folio states that they originally broadcast this performance on WBAI on 1968-02-11. The box label for this particular tape says that WBAI made a dub of the tape for KPFA on 1968-04-13 and KPFA it broadcast the program 1968-05-16. The previous catalog entry listed the WBAI broadcast as 1968-05-16, so the catalog records for BB3818.09A and BB3818.09B have been updated to reflect this discovery.
