Bob Dylan/NY, USA 1967

Basement Tapes, a collection of masterpieces by Dylan and The Band during his retirement, was released in 2014 in the official “THE BOOTLEG SERIES VOL. 11 – THE BASEMENT TAPES COMPLETE”, which covers all existing sound sources (past Boot (Although there are some differences in editing compared to other works), I feel that it has been finalized. Basement Tapes, which used to be the star of the rare sound source world, from LP to CD, now one set is enough. However, there are also mix differences in Basement Tapes. It was originally a stereo recording, but in 1968, a music publisher wanted other artists to cover the songs on Basement Tapes, so the mix was mixed when an acetate version was made in the US and UK. was monaural. Countless bootlegs were created derived from that acetate, but most of these mono mixes were officially released except for a few songs. However, when “THE BOOTLEG SERIES VOL. “MORE MONO MIXES” is a masterpiece compiled from mania-produced files neatly traced from that rare LP. However, although the LP version released in 2014 after being remastered using the latest technology had a dramatic improvement in sound quality in a numerical sense, the sound quality was too clear compared to the acetate from 1968. So? It is true that there were some enthusiasts who felt that way. It was a bit different from the atmosphere of acetate, which caused a sensation in the music world in the same year and became the basis for bootlegs such as “GREAT WHITE WONDER”. In fact, several years ago after the release of “THE BOOTLEG SERIES VOL. By that time, masterpieces such as “TREE WITH A ROOTS” had already become popular among enthusiasts, so it did not become as popular as expected. It’s true that the original is acetate, so there’s a lot of scratch noise, and there are skips in songs like “Lo And Behold!”. However, this is the proof of acetate. Not only was it such a valuable version, but the Dylan-friendly site where this sound source had been uploaded was shut down, making it difficult to find this acetate on the internet. What is most surprising is that the sound quality is better than various early bootlegs including the later “GREAT WHITE WONDER”. Those were released after obtaining branched copies of acetate, so the sound quality had deteriorated to a greater or lesser degree, but this one, being a big acetate, is suddenly clear, and the sound is outstandingly fresh. . Furthermore, the “vintage feeling” that even the atmosphere of 1968 is etched into, creates an exquisite taste when combined with the monaural sound. At the time of the official release in 2014, there were a few voices saying, “Although the sound has become clearer, the vividness may have faded.” Still, there is no dispute that “THE BOOTLEG SERIES VOL. 11” is the definitive edition of Basement Tapes. However, Basement is all about that unique heartwarming atmosphere. Big Pink, West Saugerties, New York 1967 (41:19) 1. Tears Of Rage 2. Quinn The Eskimo 3. Million Dollar Bash 4.
