It's multiple layers of compression. These are exaggerated versions of what mp3s sound like. As many are saying, this is probably a VCR tape and they're a bad start. You digitize it then convert it at some point then it goes through KZfaq compression as well. This is an extremely popular show in a golden age for for the format that had live music every episode. The sound engineer was likely amazing. Really doubt we need to be complaining here, especially when we only have access to this thanks to someone else's work.
