Bob D*Y*L*A*N - Judas! (The Complete 1965-66 Recordings) Part One

So here it finally is, after three 1/2 years! To call this project a bitch would be a HUGE understatement. the lion's share of the work was done in late 2016 and a beta version was released in February 2017 in a small private forum. I was missing a few single edits to complete the set and finally got them a few months ago while working on the KHJ series.

My original idea was simply to arrange The Cutting Edge with Live 1966 so that these would work together and also to put all the sessions/concerts in a folder each. But as I started working I decided the only way to do it correctly was to include all of the 1965 copyright set ............ and Great Danes's 15-disc 1965 Revisited ...... and Vigotone's 26 disc Jewels and Binoculars and Crawling On The Cutting Room Floor. That wasn't enough - I added in all of the singles (in original 45 versions!) and the three LPs in mono and stereo, including known alternate mixes. This is the (damn near) complete Great White Wonder in proper context, in order, as complete as possible, in the best possible quality (for 320) and without having all of that annoying trouble of searching through multiple discs/volumes to get a complete session or show. In fact, many studio sessions have slates, count-ins, and endings restored that were not even included on The Cutting Edge!

1225 tracks. 85 hours. Over 11 and a half gigs. Every concert, studio recording, demo, private recording and interview that exists.  As you could imagine, some of this was a tough slog. Every track has to be individually re-tagged by hand. There are no track numbers. No worries though, it will load and play in the correct order. A small portion of the material is NOT 320 (1965 Revisited) but it's mostly interviews or other non-musical stuff. No big whoop. Going back through it in 2020, I fixed some errors/omissions, did some upgrades, tagged each track with the original source cover art. It's all spruced up!

As new performances are discovered and when I get them, I will post updates to this set so they fit in with the rest of the set.

That said, I can now finally share it all with you. But first, let me explain about the track/file numbers:

19650308-01 - Subterranean Homesick Blues [Mono Single Edit]
[year][month][date][-order][-track title]

[SNB]= Soundboard recording taken directly from the mixing board.
[AUD]= Audience recording.
[CBS]= Professional multi-track recording of a live show.

I'm going to divide this into (probably) 5 posts, because of its size. There are 30 parts in total. Inside the first part is a text file with the complete contents.
