BOB DYLAN
Carnegie Chapter Hall 1961 [BDA, 1CD]
Live at Carnegie Chapter Hall, New York, NY; November 4, 1961. Very good to excellent radio broadcast? Said to have been recorded/compiled from Izzy 
Young’s radio broadcast(s).
 
Thanks to JTT; and to HowlinHusky for sharing the tracks on Demonoid.
 
Thanks to stewART for the artwork.
 
Release notes:
 
This is a new release on the BDA Label. Can be purchased from Stores and Internet Sellers, Amazon, HMV etc. but obviously not Official. The release has 14 
Tracks but I have seemlessly edited in This Land Is Your Land from another source. 
 
On the evening of November 4, 1961, 10 months after arriving in New York and nine days after signing with Columbia Records, Bob Dylan performed 22 songs at 
Carnegie Chapter Hall in New York City, an auxiliary practise room to the main, very prestigious central concert hall.
 
Dylan had been making a reasonable name for himself in the folk community around NYC’s Greenwich Village since his arrival in the city, and had achieved 
good reviews playing in the area’s coffee bars and folk cellars, most notably from Robert Shelton on the New York Times.
 
The first seven songs from this performance came into circulation among collectors some years ago. Five additional songs appeared in December 2004 and a 
further two (’Talking Merchant Marine’ and ‘Talking New York’) turned up in May, 2008. It is generally believed that no other songs from this earliest of 
Dylan performances are in existence anywhere. All of the available material has been pulled together for this remarkable release.
 
With a tracklist comprising four Dylan originals, plus a further two Dylan arrangements of traditional tunes, two Woody Guthrie songs plus a mixture of 
other traditionals and folk and blues standards, the historical value alone of this recording, available legitimately now for the first time, is reason 
enough for its release.
