Tut Taylor Archive Reel #71 contains two portions-1) Tut and an unidentified guitarist performing a number of
Tut's Dobro instrumentals, many of which remain unissued (and unidentifiable), and 2) Tut noodling around on
the mandolin with only a few discernable tunes emerging. The guitarist playing with Tut on tracks 1-8 is a
fine cross-picker in the Clarence White tradition. The locations and dates of these recordings are unknown,
although are probably circa late-1960's or early-1970's.

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'.

Minor edits, level normalization, fades, tracking, and flac encoding by David
Helm using CoolEdit Pro 2.1, EAC Wave Editor, and Flac Frontend.
