Bob Dylan, xx/xx/67, Basement Tapes Tape, 1CDR LB-9043, (65min), basementtapestape reel;, Lineage: Ten Inch Reel to Reel @ 7.5 i.p.s.>CDR>CDR via digital optical cable to split into tracks>EAC>FLAC, Eddiethecat inspired me. This is not meant as a competition, or even an attempt at one-upsmanship. However, it seems that people want all available versions, so here goes. When I purchased my Isle Of Wight reel at auction, this was also part of the purchase. I didn't share it at the time because there is nothing new on it, but I did have requests, so years later here it is. I really doubt if the sound is any sort of improvement in any way shape or form, but I'll bet nobody has these songs in this format. This reel is some sort of collection of songs, with The Basement Tapes as the cornerstone. There is an introduction of sorts before each song. It sounds at times to me the Basement Tapes might be from a record, but there is nothing that screams out scratchy vinyl. Dylan's voice seems a bit high, so it might need a speed correction. The end of the tape is filled out with an early Jerry Garcia project, a weird editing of Norwegian Wood, the Beatles 1967 Christmas message, and Albert King Live., When I won the reels, I had the auction house transfer them with no noise reduction to a cd. When they did it, it was done with only one track, thus the two cdrs in the lineage. I did the tracks on the fly, so they are not perfect., This tape had to be done early in the Basement Tapes history, if the Beatles X-Mas message, and the Marmaduke material is an accurate time stamp. I would be interested in any feedback on quality. Again, there is nothing new musically, just the packaging is unique --------------------------------------------------- has very loud announcer between tracks and t1 should be skipped; in spectral view most is below 12k but does have some going up to 16k; in comparison on t3 to jtt vinyl LB-9041 that is brighter and fuller but with lots of surface noise and more distortion in the vocals; in comparison to safety tape LB-7688, that has the fullest wamest sound of the three; very good to excellent sound [B+] --------------------------------------------------- analog drop t2 1:101, 1:05 --------------------------------------------------- 1. tone, 2.
