New in the DylanCover.com collection: Tracks

All Along The Watchtower
Tracks
The Very Best of Tracks 1969-1974
CD: Boston Skyline BCD111; rec.1970 - 1991 CD (US)

Tracks was formed at New Hampshire's Dartmouth College in 1969. They performed at clubs and frat houses throughout northern New England, Boston and Philadelphia.
All Along The Watchtower was considered their signature song, this 8:24 studio version was recorded in Boston, February 1970. The band self-released a 3-LP set of their recordings in 1975, later condensed for this 1991 CD release. In the notes, there is a quote from a Boston radio music director: "Real gems of early '70s rock, with flashes of Yes and Mahavishnu... The best Watchtower on record!" High praise indeed, although Jimi fans may disagree!

This CD appears to be out-of-print, but used copies are often available from:
amazon.com / amazon.co.uk / amazon.de / amazon.ca
