rmd: The first CD of the Isle Of Wight, and an attempt to make a CD from best sources. However, some heavy handed person on the fader has made this CD almost worthless. Every track is faded and often in the middle of the first or last line. (Les Kokay)
Well, it is nice to get all the cuts from this concert, albeit somewhat out of order. The variation in sound quality on this recording is surprising. Many cuts are clear, excellent sound; on others, Dylan's singing is almost inaudible, with slight feedback. Some of the cuts fade in and out. Pleasant, if somewhat uninspired, music. The packaging includes a color photo of Dylan at the concert, and reproduces a promotional poster for the show.
