LA MONTE YOUNG "THE WELL-TUNED PIANO 81 X 25 6:17:50 - 11:18:59 PM NYC" (GRAMAVISION, 1981)

I have this rip on a dvd-r - so probably you can listen to this only with a dvd-player (no video only audio) or directly from the pc.
It's a lossless rip plus a pdf of the 26p. booklet.

And you might like to read an article/interview about the task of transferring the music from the original tapes........here
