Sound quality is fair. The recording is marred by extraneous noise and occasional short gaps, and the interviewer's voice is often soft. However, Rudy Perez's voice is clearly intelligible.
Description
Recording made from the audio portion of the outtakes from the film, Festival of the dance (see Festival of the dance, cataloged as: *MGZIC 7-98.) recorded between 1972-1973.
