Bob Dylan - Genuine Bootleg Series Vol 1 REMASTERED EDITION [Remasters Workshop RMW 801-803 3CD demonoid 2812152] "declicked, pitch, phase and levels corrected from the CD set on Scorpio GBS 1-1 and 1-2 at Remasters Workshop December 2011. "This issue corrects this set of Dylan rarities, all but two of which ran slightly fast or slow, and all of which was out of phase. On the original CDs, the track markers were placed before the previous track ended or after the next one had already started, and there were abrupt starts and stops with no silences between tracks. These have been fixed. One track, (Seems Like A) Freeze Out, sped up gradually on its way to the end. This has had its pitch straightened out here. This set is reputed to contain the best-sounding iterations of this Dylan material. We are pleased to be able to present it in improved quality. No noise reduction or EQ was used. Only the playback speed, phase and levels have been altered." Mostly Ex SBD stereo.

It compiles all of the Twickenham Camera B Nagra Rolls from January 3-14, 1969 in the best available sound quality. Unicorn previously released a 24 disc box set titled Get Back Camera B Rolls (UC-S001-S024) with material from January 25th to 31st, 1969 in June 2002 and in November 2002 issued a 10 disc box set called Get Back Camera B Rolls Vol.2 (UC-S025-S034) presenting the sessions from January 22nd-25th 1969, again unearthing more unheard and previously unbootlegged Nagra tapes.

"Unicorn planned to release this set originally in 2003. The artwork was posted online, but the set hadn't been released until now. These are all original silver discs, not CDR, and haven't been circulated. The sound quality is uniformly excellent. This set, according to the liner notes, collects "together more unearthed Nagra tapes for the first time on compact disc and is the last in the series of Camera B rolls released by Unicorn Records."

"Unicorn include a lengthy essay by Michael Philips, published in the January 2003 edition of Time Trip magazine giving a detailed history of the Get Back sessions and their various incarnations on bootleg. He writes: "For over 20 years, the collecting public has been fed a continuing stream of bootlegs drawn from the Twickenham sessions. These have usually been chopped up, placed out of sequence, and presented in inferior sound quality."

Ex SBD mono. This boxset was released October 2011. To date no one has attempted to qualify exactly what has not been previously released on this new Get Back sessions boxset. Data files only.
