The CD reissue of the entire original LP compilation album from way back then is available. I ordered a copy earlier today. Not expensive. Other copies are available. Do a search.
I tried to find it on youtube, but no beans.
However, I did find this:

(Only Tyler can tell us if it's the actual album version of the song.)
Eeeee! Mein Gaia! Britney + Ussachevsky! Oh dear...these ARE the frickin' End Times...! :-)

I think it's little more than a footnote, but I found a recording of a live performance at the
Museum of Modern Art in 1952 that clearly uses live looping techniques.
It's the first live looping recording that I'm aware of. The title is "Sonic
Contours" by Vladimir Ussachevsky. It was performed and broadcast live
and is basically piano played through a tape delay. Otto Luening also
participated in the concert, but "Sonic Contours" is only credited to
Ussachevsky. The length of the delay and amount of feedback varies
over the performance (maybe at the hand of Luening?). At times the
delay is very short producing a slap back echo effect, but at the 5
minute mark, the delay is lengthened and the there is sufficient
feedback that several layers of piano are heard on top of each other.
Amazon has it as an 99 cent mp3 download:
