Review:
Hollow Horn has gone over the top once again to produce this beautiful set. I'm sure that many would argue that this material has been released to death, but few have ever heard the songs in this quality. Forget anything that you've ever heard... including the official release. No other release has ever used this so called "Safety Master". This was a studio setting type of recording that Garth Hudson had arranged. The story is told that it ended up in the personal collection of Neil Young, and has never before been released. This issue claims to be from that original mix-down tape of the recording session, and judging from the brilliance, you'll get no argument from us. By listening, one would have to agree it to be vastly superior to everything that has come before. You'll hear nuances and even instrument movements that you've never heard before.A lot of thought and care went into this project, and it's all reflected in the final product.© 2009 CD Pinkerton -  bobsboots.com

Review: This release is in a cardboard tryptic folder. It includes a center booklet that is stapled and pasted to the cardboard. The booklet includes 7 William Stout drawings. The full color photos are breath-taking. This is a must have release for any size collection. The 77 minute disc also includes four songs from a cassette source, to attempt to recreate the reported recording session. The bonus tracks are quite obviously in a lesser quality, but still make for an enjoyable listen. There is no catalog number on the package, so what's shown above is the actual disc matrix number. bobsboots.com has produced the cover art work for the jewel box enthusiasts as BB-m59. The cover art work can be downloaded from the links above. This is one of the best highlights in a year that has been flooded with them.
