xx/xx/61Early Dylan: 61/62 Compilation2A-80min+75min

from Dylantree, Back Pages remaster, The original Dylantree compilation was made by Phil M., from "first generation sources" - see notes at end, It was remastered by Steve W. - see notes at end for more, on this and on lineage of this set, Artwork is by Ken F. for the original set - same tracklist, but no mention of the remaster, Lineage information: uncertain, but probably has lineage like, Remastered version > SHN > a couple CDR generations as SHN to me (no DAE?) >, WAV via mkwACT > fixed track boundaries on disc 2 with shntool > SHN via mkwACT, (SHN files have seek tables - SKT files - appended), Note that the MD5 values are not the same as for the original set because of, the use of shntool and the appending of the seek tables, Notes on the remastering, posted on the Dylantree trade forum (May 2002):, This is a gorgeous remastering of the Dylantree Early Dylan set., As you may know, the dylantree version was flawed with "digital fuzz", in many places, particularly on the Beecher tapes sections. The fuzz, is gone on the bprm. Other annoying extraneous noises have been removed, as well as overlong dead spaces between tracks. No EQ changes have been, made to the original sound of the recordings. Levels have been normalized, to match up the varying sources. The overall effect is to turn the Dylantree, product into a two disc WOW! rather than a choppy collection of moldy old, stuff. It's never sounded better., Steve W. has done a wonderful job with this set. I consider it well worth, getting it, even if you have the original dylantree set. Here is an additional, comment from Steve:, "I spent the better part of two days remastering the "Early Dylan" set because, it literally contained well over 1,000 separate digital glitches.", Truly a labor of love., Notes on the original Dylantree set:, This set donated by Phil M. is an outstanding early Dylan (61/62) compilation., This set includes tracks from The Oscar Brand interview (10-29-61), Carnegie Chapter Hall (11-04-61), Bonnie Beacher's Apartment (12-22-61), and, the Leeds Demo (Feb. 62). The 11-04-61 and 12-22-61 shows are serious, improvements from what most Dylan traders have access to. Phil speculates, that only a handful of traders around the world have these shows in this, quality. It is an unbelievable set. Another dylantree essential!, From Phil..., "The main purpose of this cd compilation is to give Dylan newbies, excellent sounding early soundboard material. Both 12-22-61 and 11-04-61 are, tremendous upgrades to anything that has been released on boot over the years."
