Source is from my reel to reel tape of the original King Biskit Radio broadcast in 1974.
This original airing gives us a complete 33 minute Karn Evil # 9.
The noise floor is a little higher on this version than on the 1996 re-broadcast.
There is also a slight warble in places-that was the Dokorder.

Source is from my (audio only) VHS HI FI tape of the re-broadcast of the King Biskit Radio broadcast in 1996.
(I worked graveyard and I would set the timer on my VHS HI Fi to record the weekly King Bisket show every Sunday night)
A much different version than the original King Biskit broadcast on disc 1.
This time King Biskit broadcasts an edited version of Karn Evil #9 leaving out the solos.
To fill in the lost time they include an additional 4 songs from a 1977 broadcast.
Sad that the new KBFH management were so isolated from the fans that didn't realize we would rather hear the show unedited.
The people in charge of distributing music only seem to understand "hit making machines" (notice I didn't refer to them as bands).
The sound quality is better on this disc.
Memories:
I was at this Anaheim concert with my friend Mark DeMelt and it was an incredible show. Included a scan of my ticket stub in the artwork as I thought that you all might enjoy that. Jumped for joy when the King Biskit broadcast some of this concert a few months later.
