Green Rocky Road: The Loop Tapes, Pine Street Recordings

CD gatefold Japanese mini-LP jacket of never-released 1963 home recordings. Discovered on the same reel-to-reel tapes that housed the Cotton Eyed Joe release. Remastered at Abbey Road Studios by Peter Mew. Ultra-rare recordings, since Karen Dalton only released 2 LPs. Historic recordings since these 1963 home recordings prove KD's influence on her famous friends and peers (Bob Dylan, Fred Neil, Tim Buckley, Tim Hardin). As close as one will ever get to hearing the record Karen Dalton would have made in 1963. Unusual CD packaging, gatefold jacket, similar to '60s heavy cardboard LP jackets w/inner sleeves. 8-page booklet with beautiful, newly-unearthed photos of Karen Dalton from 1962-1963. Liner notes by Dick Weissman.
