Hi-Rez & CD Quality downloads of long-lost MONO mixes, BBC compilations, Spectral Remixes and other curiosa, all meticulously restored from the best sources. Hendrix, The Who, Beatles, Love, Mothers, Stones, Them, The Dead, etc. Free for All!
F.A.Q.
Who? Retired sound engineer who loves music from the 60's & early 70's.
What? My aim is to make rare stuff publicly available again with the best possible sound quality.
The one remaining non-album single that I've been looking for. Well, not actively, but this is a pleasant surprise that landed in my inbox.
I've managed to get Positively 4th Street (easy grab with the recent 2010 Best of the Mono comp) and Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window (taken from the remaster of the Biograph box set). If memory serves me right, then this is the last mono rarity remaining not available on the Original Mono Recordings box set (unless you want to count that Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues live version with The Band, haha).
Thanks for the hard work, prof. I'll be sure to enjoy this.
After having over a week to listen to this, I gotta say this ain't really Bob Dylan's best work. It has that "huffy vocal quality" to it that turned me off from his self-titled debut. This is part of the reason why I prefer listening to the B-side, even if it is an alt. take!
And thus, apologies for only meeting my promise half-way, heheh.
As Dylan pointed out in the linernotes of the Biograph box, Mixed-Up Confusion wasn't really his idea and supposedly he quickly pieced it together in the back of the cab on his way to the recording session. AFAIK it is the first recording in which he appears with a band.
Thanks! Your recent Buffalo Springfield transfers are a revelation! Good job figuring out which pressings are which...something I'm not particularly good at without help. The Cream LP sounds great too!
Hah, can't believe what I said a few months ago about my dislike of this single. Seems like time can melt my heart. I actually like it now!
Related to this, I got a chance to listen to the Bob Dylan Mono box over Christmas. Gee, for a 20 year old, Bob's debut is actually a pretty good one. It's a shame it was ignored, though that ended up giving us Freewheelin', so there's that. Kinda freaky how you can track how much Bob's voice changes from his first all the way to JWH...
Thanks, Prof. I'm just now getting into Bob Dylan's early albums, and I was just reading about his first single. So cool that you have it here. - David S.
Oh yeah ...

ReplyDeleteFYI...my transfers of "If You Gotta Go" and the rare, alternate "Window" can be found on the compilation "Solid Road".
ReplyDeleteYes, and they are excellent. Thx for stopping by!
