Bob Dylan: Carnegie Chapter Hall on 2 LPs

Product Information

The first seven songs from this performance came into circulation among collectors some years ago, five additional songs appeared in December 2004 and a further two (Talking Merchant Marine and Talking New York) turned up in May 2008: It is generally believed that no other songs from this earliest of Dylan performances are in existence anywhere. All of the available material has been pulled together for this remarkable release: With a track list comprising 4 Dylan originals, plus a further two Dylan arrangements of traditional tunes, 2 Woody Guthrie songs plus a mixture of other traditionals and folk and blues standards, the historical value alone of this recording, available legitimately now for the first time, is reason enough for its release. However, the show is enormously enjoyable and the quality of the recording remarkably good considering the circumstances and its age.
