Notes

Bob Dylan - Mega-rare restored vinyl "The Villager" - Speed-corrected and rejoined - a HC Exclusive!

I know, I know... Bobsboots says this is one of the worst recorded albums ever made. Well, they're wrong in this case. It isn't so bad as all that. Once the speed was corrected and the pops and ticks were removed, it sounds pretty good. Perfect it isn't, and not by a long shot. But it is listenable to and enjoyable as well.

Sides one and two are listed as a Gaslight tape from September 1961 with the exception of "California", which is a "Times" outtake. Sides three and four are listed as the Gleason's home tape except for "Lay Down Your Weary Tune" and "I've Been A Moonshiner", which are both also "Times" outtakes. More specific information I don't know, perhaps you can supply it.

Get it while you can!

A DoinkerTape


LP 1 is indeed the First Gaslight Tape, pretty consistently dated to Septmber 6, 1961; but "California" is an outtake from Bringing It All Back Home. LP 2 includes excerpts from the February 1961 Gleason tape, missing the opening "San Francisco Bay Blues" as well as "Trail Of The Buffalo," plus the two now-official Times outtakes. "Tuneups And False Starts" includes Dylan's abortive versions of "Southern Cannonball" and "Bring Me Back My Blue-Eyed Boy." The subtitle for"Moonshiner" should have been "Bottle Song."
