Also about 8 minutes of reprises following the end of the story. The LP runs 48 
minutes so there had to have been a number of cuts.

What's interesting about the pair of discs I have is that they're recorded in 
slide auto sequence, but don't have abrupt audio changeovers. Most likely dubs. 
maybe someone's audition copy..no labels, no writing, no run-outs.
