Recording Information ::: unknown mono equipment -> master audience reel-to-reel -> 1st(*) generation Maxell XLIIS-90 cassette, Dolby B on. (*) Possibly one added reel-to-reel generation in the lineage, as I don't think my bay-area source was the original taper, but my tape is labeled 1st gen. by him.

Playback 2011-07-xx ::: 1st(*) generation Maxell XLIIS-90 cassette on Nakamichi BX-300 cassette deck, Dolby B on, azimuth & pitch adjusted, heads cleaned & demagnatized -> Tascam CD-RW900SL pro CD recorder -> CD-RW -> computer, EAC secure -> wavs -> Audacity (fades &/or glitches, volume adjustments, no EQ) -> CD Wave (track splits) -> Trader's Little Helper -> yer ears.

Whoever the taper was, they were savin' on batteries and switching off the machine between songs. I cleaned up the edits, but they're a bit quick.

Bomb's Additional Lineage :::
flac > TLH > wav : Cool Edit Pro 2.1 (correct phase offset by moving right channel back 14 samples, correct slight DC offset, slight retrack) > TLH > flac (level 8)

Goody's additional lineage:
TLH (WAV) > Audition (Pitch Bender -46 cents) > TLH (FLAC Level 8; Align sector boundaries)

Line-up (a bit of a mystery) :::
Charlie Musselwhite � harmonica, vocals (+ 2nd guitar?) //
Barry Goldberg � organ //
(probably) Mike Bloomfield � lead guitar //
Bob Anderson � bass //
Fred Below � drums //
(possibly Paul Butterfield - harmonica on track 1)


Thanks to the seeder:

::: It's an audience tape from 1967, but totally listenable & enjoyable & the music should get your wig-hat on & leave you speechless with amazement. Check the samples!

Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.

Cool Sonics Series CS-067 ::: Thanks to the original taper & trader! My copy came from the legendary Mr White ::: Corrections welcome ::: Musically this is sublime. Along with the early Butterfield Blues Band albums, Musselwhite's "Stand Back" & Goldberg's "Blowing My Mind" (both with this line-up) have always stood at the top of white boy Chicago bluesland for me. No wonder Musselwhite's career took off like a rocket after this same month of 1967. What a great band. If anyone has any other early material by Charlie, 60's or early 70's, it would be great to share it.

More recordings on the way now that I am able to make up for years of slow netspeed. Kudos to Zongo for life support & Lochner for mikes & much more. A bow to Fast Freddie for runnin' Video Dick's Record Emporium with the bathroom office full of tape decks. Thanks to Hanwaker (few among us can keep his pace) for over 30 years of trading & friendship. Mountains of gratitude to Davmar, D.White, Sanchez, Elliot, The Florida Kid, Kloiber, Zingg, JTW, Bershaw, Boston Gold, Weeks, Dixon, Moore, Gough & SO many more for all that collecting & sharing... Royal thanks to The Man In The Palace, Doc Tinker, Brinkhoffs, Barely Eatin', Reel Master Gaule, Parrish & all the traders who housed me thru my music acquisition & travel years. Hats off to Brother Kent, Uncle Jake, Little Queenie (& her neighbor Frank) & his honor Ptomaine Thomas. Glasses raised to Byron for musical horizon expansion & much obliged to J & Thurston for keepin' my concert fires burnin' since my continental shift. Thanks to the Mods for keepin' DIME alive. Enjoy, share, give, spread peace. Yers truly, Kneesfudd
