Recent torrents of note (August-September 2008)

[William J. Clinton]

Given the long hiatus in updating this board, a "new" torrents list would pretty much just duplicate the torrents list (and double the time required to rebuild the board!) So, in a more or less one time deal (until the next time my work schedule overwhelms me), a list of selected torrents from the spring and early summer 2008 uploads that I think are well worth your attention. Not just Dylan, but adding in a few influences of and influenced by, and probably one or two that just strike my fancy. I'll be adding to this list as I rebuild, so check back every now and then!

One of the three BTBD events of the year so far, from the learned and generous collector RS, we have the long awaited successor to "For Sale And Just On The Shelf," assembling from best sources the 1965-66 outtakes, rare alternates, and other associated wonderfulness . . .

[expanded, circulates only as mp3]

And significant, though not the earthshaking release it's been touted as, since so much of the material was previously circulating (much officially released)

Not previously torrented: a lower-gen copy of the May 7, 1965 Manchester line recording, from a generationally superior source to any of the commercial boots, without any sonic tampering or mutilation
