Shelved for a half-century, and time submerged in a terrible flood had both taken their toll on the film, and sadly, the cans were NOT mislabelled. All Travis had was the last three reels, all in the single large can. The film in the smaller can was in very poor condition, so once they'd checked to be sure they were copies of the same reels 4 and 5, Travis asked Deluxe to recycle them, and do the best they could to salvage the three best reels. The monaural optical sound cleaned up beautifully, but the film itself had become warped and the color processing was unable to keep the greens and blues from shifting back and forth, which meant what Travis had have was not commercially useful. But it had some historical value, At least to him, and as digital DVD author Brent Backhus observed, "The color shifts are acceptable, even psychedelically appreciated, especially in a mid-sixties movie." Be that as it may, what they saw is all they had. Deluxe had done a remarkable restoration of the badly damaged prints, and frankly, even without Brent's enthusiasm, Travis had decided the music clips were "historiclaly worth salvaging" (especially since apart from some stills, Travis had no other visual coverage of his musical adventures).
