Total Time ::: 33:58

::: VERY fine studio tapes with slight generational/aging/hiss issues. Check samples for aural insight or to make the flowers start blooming.
::: Warts: Not many, but got some hiss (louder at track starts&ends), slight muffling, & surely missed some dullspots (repaired most but a few in #3 not totally fixable).
::: Surfaced in early 80s with Barry Melton & Mickey Hart unissued albums, all '72-74 & Snooky's likely recorded over 1-3 months within one of those years.
::: (*) No actual album title on tape. "Mr. Love" is the very hip first song & I took liberties & used it for the unissued album name.
::: #6 had no title so it's a guess. (May also be "Trying To Survive", "Cry If You Still Love Me", or ?). If you know better, do tell.
::: Snooky is also seen spelled 'Snookey' & occasionally 'Snookie'.
::: Someone MUST be able to upgrade the circulating Hart/Melton/Flowers & other unissued Rolling Thunder sessions. PLEASE consider layin' them on us.
