The first is a very brief aircheck in half track mono format from New York City FM radio station WBFM, 101.9 FM, circa late 1963-early 1964. The brief break in the aircheck with very slow-sounding music is from what was originally recorded on the tape in full track format and is part of fragment two, and can be heard in full and at correct speed there.
