Hollee shit. Of the many many discs I've heard of the basement tapes, this is easily the best.Think the version of Quinn the Eskimo already appeared somewhere, but am not really sure.

Think this is also a bootleg in the old sense of the word with probably nothing to do with Dylan and the Band.

MIXING UP THE MEDICINE

A new CD release from the Hollow Horn Encore Label that features the first ever release of the legendary Basement Tapes Safety Master. This was a tape reportedly made by Garth Hudson in early 1968, under full studio conditions, of the best available original master tapes made in the summer of 1967 and it features the bulk of the original songs that were recorded. This safety tape features truly breathtaking sound quality and also in the majority of cases, features the material in it s original glorious stereo (virtually none of this material has ever been heard in it s original true stereo including on the ridiculous official release!) The first time I got to listen this material my jaw nearly hit the floor! It really is a whole new listening experience!!

Four bonus tracks from other sources have also been included as bonus
tracks, which also means that this set also stands as a close to perfect one disc compilation of the Basement Tapes Dylan compositions. The packaging is the usual high quality fold out mini album design complete with an eight page booklet of notes, pictures and some lovely reproductions of the cartoons from the classic vinyl album Little White Wonder. An early contender for the best, and most important release of 2009!! The track listing of this set is as follows:

2. Yea Heavy and a Bottle of Bread
3. I m Not There (1956)
4. Please Mrs Henry
5. Down in the Flood

Where a small knife tears out those sloppy seams,
and the silence knows what your silence means,
and your metaphors (as mixed as you can make them)
are linked, like days, together.
