Native speaker (male) voices Lessons 1-46 of the text. In each of the first seven lessons he reads the text twice–first with long pauses, then with short pauses; in Lessons 8-46 he reverses the format. He is apparently using the second edition of the text published in Cambridge, MA in 1968.
Collection Technical Notes: 
Tapes are the original recordings made in the Language Lab studio in 1975-76. Note: The acetate tape stock used for the recordings is so badly dried out in most cases that the tapes are probably unplayable. WAVE files are now converted to MP3s.
