BOB DYLAN and THE BAND - Basement Tapes Acetate (Vinyl Transfer, JTT) Bob Dylan and The Band Big Pink West Saugerties New York June - November 1967 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE CIRCULATED THIS DISC IN ANY FORM. PLEASE DO NOT CONVERT TO LOSSY FORMATS AND PUT ON "EXPECTING RAIN" +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In 1967 "Don't Look Back" had it's UK premiere run at the ICA Cinema in The Mall, London. I was lucky to be at the first night and before the showing almost an hour of Dylan music was played none of which I had heard before. I had a friend with contacts at the ICA and asked if he would inquire about the music. A few days later I was given a Vinyl LP in a white envelope and was told a few copies had appeared when the film was delivered. Turns out to be a copy of the tracks supplied to music publishers of the songs to become known as The Basement Tapes. This Torrent is a direct copy of the vinyl and although there is considerable surface noise the quality and generation of the source seems to much better than many that circulate. I have a 1970 Bootleg "Waters of Oblivion" which has the same tracks in a different order and slightly lesser quality which Dominique Roques describes as first bootleg to be sourced from an acetate.
