It's definitely not a bootleg. Nor is it pirated in the truest sense of the term, because the mono versions are not now offered to the public. Once upon a time, there was no such thing as stereo. All releases were mono. As stereo began to come into its own in the early 1960s, it became the practice to release two versions of each title. One mono, one stereo. Sometimes there were incredible differences in the two mixes, other than just the stereo channel. As a rule of thumb, most Dylan mono/stereo releases were not that different from one another. To some audiophiles, some of these tracks might prove mildly entertaining. However, those are the folks that usually have a high end turn table along with the original mono release. So... who to market this to? Only the completeists. © 2002 Craig Pinkerton Bobsboots.com |
