Tut Taylor Archive Reel #75 is labeled "Tut, Roger, Teenie" but, with one exception, it contains Tut's
circa-1964 duet recordings with Clarence White that were made in Los Angeles, CA at the time that Tut was
recording his "Dobro Country" LP with the White Brothers. Reel #75 is very similar to Archive Reel #174.
Most of the tunes found on Reel #75 are found on Tut and Clarence's "Flatpicking" CD, although several
unissued tunes or outtakes are also found on this reel. Track #7 on Side A is not from the Tut-Clarence
sessions, and may be Tut on Dobro with Roger _____, & Teenie Smith (drums/bass).

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, C1 comp-gate, C1 comp-sc, Mixer Delay and L3.
The file was dithered down to a 16 bit/44.1kHz wave file.

The box is labeled 'Tut, Roger + Teenie'. The reel is labeled 'Tut, Roger, Teenie'.
