Bob Dylan, 9/xx/61, Gaslight Cafe, NYC, 1CDR

LB-5441, (26min), lowgen; This is a fresh transfer from an old hissy tape. Various transfers have been bootlegged many times, and this is one more. I hope someone likes it., Original recording details unknown. A more precise date is often cited, but I believe it's based on flimsy evidence or no evidence at all. This was played for club owners before Dylan's first recording contract, in hopes of getting some gigs for the teenager., Lineage: Tape reel > reel > Gina soundcard > EQ and speed adj via Adobe Audition., md5 file included., Thanks, Terri !!bittorrent download 10/07; close to true mono; in comparison this has more hiss but greater fidelity with fuller less muffled sound than bootleg Documents of Bob Dylan Vol3 which does not have anything above 21k; this show as filler on 7/29/61 LB-2847 was similar to that Documents bootleg but with higher levels and nothing above 21k; For sale or on the shelf LB-1172 d5d2 also had less hiss but less fidelity and nothing above 16k; Hollow Horn Reference Recording Vol 2 LB-4916 seems like it is from the Documents bootleg in wav and spectral view;  Early Recordings Vol 2 LB-1688 had everything above 6k removed so it had least hiss but was very flat and narrow sounding; very good to excellent sound [B+]
