At some point after the original showtape was produced, the original audio of the recording sessions, alongside edited and final audio, would be copied to D2 tape, which is the only currently known surviving record that the showtape existed.

Other segments from the Pizza Time Theatre Showtape D2 Tape Recording may have appeared on the showtape.
