Freewheelin' Bob Dylan sessions 1962 
(1) Town Hall, NYC  April 12, 1963 
(2) CBS Studio A, NYC, BIABH outtake Jan. 13-15, 1965 
Hotel Tape, Denver, CO , 1966 
CBS studio May-June 1969 

An incredible 1993 release from Spank, that includes beautiful photographs, great aesthetics, and an hour of rare tracks in excellent overall sound quality. The Freewheelin' sessions are a perfect 10, coming right off of the mixing console. The quality is good enough to release as official tracks, but the performances are flawed by a botched word, timing, or something similar that left them behind in the vaults. The quality slips to a 7 for (1) and (2), but the powerful and controversial You've Been Hiding is mesmerizing none the less. The quality of the Hotel tape slips even farther to a 5, a 4, and finally to a 3 on Just Like A Woman; and is included only because of its rarity. The 1969 studio outtakes zoom right back to a 9, giving this disc a wide range of sound qualities
