DYLAN, BOB
CARNEGIE CHAPTER HALL (ROCK CLASSICS)
FANTASTIC 140 GRAM VINYL RELEASE OF THIS COLLECTION OF EARLY DYLAN BROADCASTS: PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED ON VINYL LEGENDARY LIVE DYLAN RECORDING FROM THE EARLIEST DAYS OF HIS CAREER: The first seven songs from this performance came into circulation among collectors some years ago, five additional songs appeared in December 2004 and a further two (Talking Merchant Marine and Talking New York) turned up in May 2008: It is generally believed that no other songs from this earliest of Dylan performances are in existence anywhere.
All of the available material has been pulled together for this remarkable release: With a track list comprising 4 Dylan originals, plus a further two Dylan arrangements of traditional tunes, 2 Woody Guthrie songs plus a mixture of other traditionals and folk and blues standards, the historical value alone of this recording, available legitimately now for the first time, is reason enough for its release.
However, the show is enormously enjoyable and the quality of the recording remarkably good considering the circumstances and its age
