LC engineer's note: The third file is a very brief fragment of an undated 1964 Dan Ingram WABC aircheck (possibly from the week of April 7, 1964 as Dan mentions the Beatles song "Twist And Shout" is number two on the survey and the week of April 7 is the only time that song was in that position).

LC engineer's note: There are two fragments at the end of the reel, unrelated to the main recording. 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.
