Hi VP,
I have that set. I'm digitizing that tape now so that the set can be completed online.
You know, my Spanish Headstart for Latin America has this crazy disco music before the lesson starts, but the audio lessons are the same. The person who digitized that set must have cut out the music.

I think the tape sides are a bit out of order. There are 24 programs in this Headstart, with 2 evaluation tapes.
Tape #7 is program 13 on side 1 and blank on side 2. Program 13 is Module II, Unit 4 - Taking a Taxi
Tape #8 is program 14 on side 1: Module III, Unit 1 - Buying Seafood and other Groceries
Tape #8 is program 15 on side 2: Module III, Unit 1 - Buying Seafood and other Groceries (continuation)
Tape #9 is program 16 on side 1: Module III, Unit 1 - Buying Seafood and other Groceries (continuation, 3rd and final part)
Tape #9 is blank on side 2
Did someone on the board digitize these? Whomever digitized the audio did a good job cleaning it up. And the disco music is trimmed out. I think program 16 might be the missing one.
Program 14 and 15 sound so similar to me that I'll have to probably get the laptop and play both tapes at the same time on the desktop computer and laptop to see if they're different. It's the same woman buying shrimp and pineapple. I think that they *are* different, just very similar and repetitious.

Hi Poetry,
From what I recall, the tapes were through long-distance inter-library loan and by the time we discovered that something was amiss, they had been sent back.
Were you able to sort it out?
