Notes


Power Station - NY, NY April 11-May 8, 1983

The plethora of material and versions recorded include the above outtakes as well as official releases. The month long Power Station recording session produced:
1) The 'Infidels' LP and singles
2) European only 45 rpm release of 'Union Sundown' backed with #4 disc one.
3) 'Jokerman' Westwood One 'Dylan on Dylan'
4) 'Death Is Not The End' - Rlsd on: DITG
5) Five tracks on 'Bootleg Series Vol. 1-3'
('Foot Of Pride','Tell Me','Someone's Got A Hold Of My Heart','Lord Protect My Child' and 'Blind Willie McTell') © 20

This is another of several releases of the Power Station material. There were at least four different double CDs of the same name that contained basically the same material, in much the same quality. Each package was released by a different manufacturer. This Power Station material has also been released, in part, in several packages; under various titles. The quality of this material is great. There is some slight tape hiss, and at times 'dead air' noise. The overall sound, success of 'Infidels', and desire for studio outtakes has been the spawn of the numerous releases.
The outtakes themselves are most highly recommended. There really seems to be no particular standout as far as the various versions of CDs, ... If you own one, for all practical purposes you own then all.
