DEEP: Nine Leeds demos presented in sizzling, best ever
quality, sandwiched between a partial Carnegie Chapter Hall
performance that *should* have included all the circulating tracks.
The Bear recording from Chicago 1963 is in quite good, albeit a bit
compressed, quality. The two common outtakes could have been
excised in favor of the remaining extant Carnegie tracks. The focus
here, though, is on the sparkling quality Leeds demos, presented in
far superior sound than previous incarnations. Now, if we could
only get the Witmarks in the same quality. A particularly
tasteful, B&W 16 page booklet is chock full of vintage early 60's
Bob pics that are more than a bit pleasing to the eye.
rmd: Once again, Dandelion has pointlessly edited out
Dylan's between-song comments, abridging the Bear tape. (SK)
