You know, it's entirely possible that the tapes are indeed safe and 
well, in a bankers' box marked "AP 11" on a shelf in some archive 
warehouse. The person who saved the tapes knew what they were, so 
that's all the label he/she needed.

When I was looking for material recorded by NPR for their "Folk 
Festival USA" series fifteen years later, the producer told me, "We 
saved all the raw tape. It's probably in the National Archives, in a 
box marked "Friday Afternoon" in my handwriting."
