BLOOD ON THE TRACKS - NEW YORK SESSIONS & Sound 80 Masters

unidentified label 1CD

(1) Columbia Records Studio A (New York, NY); September 1974
(2) Sound 80 Studios (Minneapolis, MN); December 1974 (half-speed masters)

Tracklist: (1) Tangled Up In Blue, Simple Twist Of Fate, You're A Big Girl Now, Idiot Wind, You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go, Meet Me In The Morning, Lily Rosemary And The Jack Of Hearts, If You See Her Say Hello, Shelter From The Storm, Buckets Of Rain
(2) Tangled Up In Blue, You're A Big Girl Now, Idiot Wind, If You See Her Say Hello

DEEP: A reissue of sorts, with four Sound 80 Studios tracks appended to the original NYC versions. The Sound 80 tracks - are sourced from a half speed master and sound terrific. All the talk about being mastered at the correct speed and pitch, well, you'll have to decide for yourself. They do sound awfully true, though. Packaging remains as originally issued, with a note on the added tracks attached.

NOTE: This is perilously close to being a pirate edition of BOTT with bonus tracks, omitting only one song from the official release (although some of the official tracks are represented by variant releases). Therefore, not recommended.
