Yes, it's pretty amazing to have this two hour recording. There is one speaker (from Japan) in English, the rest in French, Spanish and Italian so a full transcript would be a collective effort.
The other material I'd like to read is in the IISH (Netherlands) which is collection of documents of the London Federation of Anarchists which includes correspondence leading up to the Carrara congress: https://search.socialhistory.org/Record/ARCH00836
There is a mention of its acquisition in a journal/report called 'News of the Profession':

August 31th, 1968. Just 50 years ago, the Anarchist International Conference started in Carrara.
Alasbarricadas has published a long article about it. (in spanish).
https://www.alasbarricadas.org/noticias/node/40594
There are images, audio links (french, the japanese delegate in "english"), a pair of youtube videos and a quite a lof bibliography in multiple lenguages.
For example, here is the pdf of freedom journal with the report of the brittish delegate (Stuart Christie).
In this youtube video you can see the ambient and Cohn-Bendit behaving weirdly.
