MORE MISSING PERSONS

I received a digital copy of "BBC College Concert #7 - Missing Persons, Six Flags Magic Mountain Sept. 10, 1982", a recording of a radio show that eventually got released on CD and LP in 2024 as "Live In Santa Clarita - October 10, 1982".
I assume that the CD / LP version does not have the radio announcer's comments...
