| J-Card Comment | Review: Bob's Boots: The material presented here is an absolute must-have to any collection. It has been available for many years, but this package blows away every release that has come before. This is the one to own. CBS was planing this release during the 1963-64 Christmas season, and it went as far as being pressed to acetate. It has long been rumored that the LP cover was completed as well, and this CD purports to be a reproduction of it. It is a beautiful cover, and leaves little doubt to it's authenticity. The thorn seems to have been the rambling 6? minute prose "Last Thoughts On Woody Guthrie". A song missing from Carnegie is Talkin' John Birch. It, along with this version of Who Killed Davy Moore? was released on the official CBS release Bootleg Series Vol 1-3. The recording has been filtered and EQ'd for this release, and the result is near perfection. The overall aesthetics, quality, and material of this package make it one of the best CD boots ever produced. DEEP BENEATH THE WAVES vol 67 IN CONCERT April 1963, Carnegie Hall and 26 Oct 1963 - New York City, NY Trax: 9 Time: 49 Source: Original Acetate Quality: Excellent Well, you Dylan fans who were disappointed in 1963 when Columbia canned this album, your 34 year wait is over. The album, just as it was originally intended, is within your grasp. Complete with a color glossy reprint of the original intended cover (beautifully reproduced picture of Bob on stage wearing brown jacket, jeans, boots and work shirt, the ever-present harp rack & strumming a guitar, alongside a stool with an open notebook - A CLASSIC SHOT from above the stage), replete with the "STEREO 360 Sound" at the top and the old Columbia logo in the left top corner, plus a gorgeous color shot on the back cover, PLUS an unseen b&W pic of Bob and Suze on the inside booklet and one of Bob alone on the back booklet, PLUS 2 original ads for each of the venues, PLUS a long essay by Bob called "Blowin' In The Wind" (or "Busted") that is vintage early 60's Bob wit and keen insight and written in that inimitable fashion - whew! Bottom line - the classiest, most attractive and best put together single CD package that these eyes have ever seen - and we ain't even talked about the music yet. Ahhh, the music - this does for 1963 what "All Hallow's Eve" does for 1964, "Now Is the Time For Your Tears" does for 1965 and "Guitars Kissing" does for 1966 - Dylan at his best in 1963 singing tunes that had not, and would not, grace any of his official albums (except*). Songs of wit, candor and insight that would have caused, had the LP been released, as much mixed-up confusion and study as the classics that followed. Taken from an original copy of the acetate and in sharp, cutting, full bodied and TRUE quality, the best to date of this material (save "Last Thoughts....", since officially released on TBS1-3): Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie Lay Down Your Weary Tune Dusty Old Fairgrounds John Brown When the Ship Comes In* Who Killed Davy Moore Percy's Song Bob Dylan's New Orleans Rag Seven Curses presented 34 years after the fact, and packaged in a way that would have done 'em proud had it been issued like this in 1963. |
