Review:
The historical importance of the Witmark Demos cannot be overstated.
They belong in every serious collection. They were performed in the
publisher's
New York office (and a few in CBS studio NY)
only to document a recorded version of each song for publishing and
demonstration.
Mainly recorded during July 1962 and early 1963,
there were also a few recorded in 1964. The
casual
fan might find the recordings a little stiff and uninspired because of
their origin and purpose. The quality is great, however. This set
represents
the known office recordings. Great looking sepia toned cover. The
tracks
are put into the random order as listed by Michael Krogsgaard. A
slightly
nicer release by Capricorn is entitled simply 'The
Witmark Years'. It's long been the practice to name a Dylan boot
release by using
an obscure song title or line from a song. This title comes from a line
in Eternal Circle.
Tracks 10,11 disc 1 & 17 disc 2 -
Dylan on
Piano. Oddly track 18 on disc 2 is not
the piano version from the Witmark, but the studio outtake on guitar
from Another Side session NY 6-9-64.
Tracks 1,2,3,12,14,17 d1 & 4,13 d2 were released
on a very rare one sided promo LP from Warner Bros.7 Arts
Tracks 10,11 d1 & 13 d2 were released on the
official
CBS LP 'Bootleg Series Vol. 1-3.
