Tut Taylor Archive Reel #68 features an early-incarnation Aereoplane band session (circa 1970-71) with John
Hartford, Norman Blake, and Tut Taylor. Among the tunes heard, they work through several takes of "Where the
Old Red River Flows" (found on "Steam Powered Aereo-Takes"), and an early attempt at "Turn Your Radio On".
"Foggy Mountain Breakdown" is a nice treat. The sound is crisp and clear. Enjoy!

The tape is a 7.5 inch per second mono recording. The reel was played
on a modified Revox A77 reel-to-reel machine with a Reutelhuber custom designed and
built tape head preamplifier incorporating 2003 era technology and components
including all metal film resistors, polypropelene coupling capacitors, and low ESR
electrolytic supply bypass capacitors. The resulting analog signal was digitized
by a Mytek Digital 8X96 analog to digital converter using Steinberg Nuendo as the
recording software and saved as a 24 bit 48 kHz wave file.

Post processing and was done with Nuendo using the following Waves
Plugins: X-Hum, Q10, LinEQ Lowband, S1 Shuffler and L3. The file was dithered down to a
16 bit/44.1kHz wave file.

The box is labeled 'Tut Master' and '15IPS #1 Tut'.
