“The Soundboard Archive - Doc Watson” (340 songs, in toto: none officially released) (N.B. - I had to split this collection into two parts, so that I could store it on DVD-Rs; after two external HD crashes, I no longer back up anything on them! Thus, "Part 1" will feature songs 1-166, while "Part 2" will feature songs 167-340.) *** For some time now, I have been making “The Soundboard Archive” compilations. My live-music collection had become so massive that I thought it pointless to keep "multiple-to-the-nth-degree" versions of the same songs, especially for "non-jam" bands: thus the genesis of this project of mine. This has been my methodology: 1. Choose a trade-allowing artist (= "not on LL's / TTD's NAB lists") & collate all of the tracks from my “SBD” flac/shn files for said artist. (DIME doesn't allow compilations like this.) (As of this writing, I've made compilations for 10cc, 10,000 Maniacs, 311, Alabama Shakes, Alison Krauss-Union Station, Blind Melon, Bob Marley-The Wailers, Doc Watson, Eddie Money, The Fall, Gillian Welch-David Rawlings, Marvin Gaye, Rush.) 2. Listen to each track and choose what sounds to my ears to be the “best” version. 3. Rename each chosen track and add tags detailing date & venue. 4. Compile “the winners” into a “The Soundboard Archive” collection – after ensuring (to the best of my ability) that NO included tracks have been officially released. Enjoy!
