BOB DYLAN - LIVE 1966 - ROYAL ALBERT CONCERT - BOOTLEG SERIES VOL 4 (2LP 200g BOX SET)

The Most Famous Live Recording in Rock History! Transferred From the Original 1/2" Analog Mix-Down Masters by Bernie Grundman! 

The most famous bootleg in rock history, with the possible exception of Bob Dylan's own Basement Tapes, finally made its official appearance 32 years after the event, and nearly 30 years after it started circulating in the underground. Although often identified as a Royal Albert Hall show, this May 17, 1966, concert, in which Dylan played electric material in front of a British audience, was actually recorded in Manchester (hence the unwieldy title with quotes around "Royal Albert Hall").

Even those who've owned this recording for many a year need this official package, as it has been expanded to include the eight electric rock songs from the original bootleg, but also the seven solo acoustic performances that comprised the first half of the show. It's all in great fidelity. More importantly, the electric half is one of the most important documents in rock history. It captures the point at which Dylan was at his most controversial and rocking as he and The Band blaze through mid-60s classics such as "Like a Rolling Stone" and "Ballad of a Thin Man," radical electric arrangements of songs that had originally been recorded acoustically ("One Too Many Mornings," "I Don't Believe You"), and the rambunctious "Tell Me, Momma," which Dylan never recorded in the studio.

On top of everything else, there's a 56-page booklet with a fine essay by Dylan's friend Tony Glover (a notable folk musician in his own right). This is not just an interesting adjunct to Dylan's 60s discography; it's as worthy of attention as anything else he recorded during that decade. Transferred from the 1/2' analog mix down masters and cut on Classic's 'all tube' cutting system by Bernie Grundman and released on 180g Classic vinyl, this re-release is the first time this long out of print classic has been available on exquisite vinyl. Absolutely essential.
