5/xx/62 | Broadside Show, WBAI-FM, New York, NY | 1 | A- | 53min |
version "a"; (SOUND UPGRADE), Shortly after I had seeded the May 1962 Broadside Show in its entirety (from my cassette copy) at http://www.hungercity.org/details.php?id=1681, I was graciously offered an upgrade from a fellow Hungercity citizen (who might want to remain anonymously), His discs (he included an additional one with the "Songs Of Freedom" show from July 30, 1963) arrived this week -- upon listening, I realised that it is indeed an upgrade over my cassette copy (hardly any tape hiss) -- THANK YOU SO MUCH!, The speed variations on first track also exist on this upgrade and indeed seem to come from the Master reel-to-reel (as I had suspected). The CD is somewhat awkwardly tracked (4 tracks in total), the performance is a little faster in speed (which sounds more correct to my ears). All in all, I'd label the sound quality as A- (as opposed to B+ of my own copy), Israel "Izzy" Young (host), with Agnes "Sis" Cunningham, Pete Seeger, Gil Turner, Bob Dylan, Lineage: pre-FM reel (this show was apparently never broadcast)->unknown (low) generation transfer(s)->CD-R (TAO)received, ->EAC Rip (TAO gaps removed)->Flac Level 8 (align on sector boundaries), Comments:, The three Dylan tracks from this (apparently never aired) radio show have been in circulation as far back as "Great White 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
