5/xx/62 | Broadside Show, WBAI-FM, New York, NY | 1 | B+ | 55min |
Have never seen the May 1962 Broadside Show been torrented (nor traded, for that matter as a CD) in its entirety., Therefore, I decided to digitise my cassette copy, 45 years after the event..., Israel "Izzy" Young (host), with Agnes "Sis" Cunningham, Pete Seeger, Gil Turner, Bob Dylan, Lineage: WBAI-FM broadcast or pre-FM reel (allegedly this show was never broadcast)->unknown (low) generation transfer(s)->cassette trade (1980s)->transfer with Terratec Phono Preamp Studio/Sony Soundforge (no noise reduction, etc. applied) by fredatwork/fred_at_work/fredgermany on May 1, 2007->tracks created with CDWave->Flac Level 8 (align on sector boundaries), Known flaws: Speed variations on first track (most likely from source, because cassette is in excellent shape), slight tape hiss, audible "cut" between tracks 10 and 11 (Finale), still I'd label it a solid B+, IF ANYONE HAS AN UPGRADE TO THIS, PLEASE SHARE!!!, Comments:, The three Dylan tracks from this (possibly never aired) radio show have been in circulation as far back as "Great Wide Wonder" -- most notably on "Broadside", Label: Gunsmoke Records GSR2., The complete broadcast does not offer much more of Bob Dylan (except an "I don't know" to the question why more songs have been written about badmen than "good" men, or Dylan's admittance that he has never heard of the country of Andorra...)., Still, it's nice to see his contributions in context -- a radio show hosted by Israel "Izzy" Young, with Agnes "Sis" Cunningham, Pete Seeger, Gil Turner, and Bob Dylan, Interesting discussions about topical song throughout -- more on the similarities between Gil Turner's "Benny Kid Paret" and some Dylan songs from that period, the source of Dylan's "Ballad Of Donald White", etc. at http://www.bobdylanroots.com/emberl.html
