Notes: 
Cassette was still sealed upon arrival. Thanks to blackpage and Tim for letting me crack this one open! Most excellent!

Cassette was rewound and levels set using 5 minutes of time on both sides.Two passes made on side 1 and one pass made on side 2. Otherwise cassette has never been played before.
Or will be again by me.

Side One of cassette is BOTC, side Two is the interview.

Because cassette was sealed for 24 years, bleeding occurred, rather annoying. Left raw.

According to dialogue at http://globalia.net/donlope/fz/related/Blood_On_The_Canvas.html
This is the short version. Cue # 5 is missing. The Doctor's dialogue in "I'm Going To Have To Put You On Medication" was not present on the tape version.
Mosschops fill was applied here. Probably from a broadcast version FM, or pre-fm.

No track list on cassette or J-Card (see scans). I used track names suggested on Globalia.net.

Interview (last track) by Greg Fitzgerald WGBH Boston on 1986 11 06

Credits: Thanks to blackpage and Tim for sharing with the community. Opening cassette decreased value.
Respect man! Thanks to Mosschops for providing fill.
Thanks to flambay for help with set list, pitch, and editing.
