Series II: Sound Recordings
Sound recordings were numbered to match the original reel number. The documentation on tape containers indicates that tape 5 is on the same recording as tape 4, and tape 8 is on the same recording as tape 9. Items given the ID numbers SR017 and SR083-SR086 were discovered during the digitization process to be blank--SR017 may never have been used, and SR083-SR086 were bulk-erased. The content may be on other recordings in the collection. Song titles reflect the common use per recording; when Hurt announces a song with a variant of the commonly-used title it is noted. Further variations can be found on accompanying documentation.
