Tut Taylor Archive Reel #52 is a conglomeration of a number of different recordings.  Side A begins with the tail end of a Kenny Baker & Joe Greene twin-fiddle jam session, and is followed by some live recordings (Curley Seckler, Bill Monroe, Bill Monroe with Cliff Waldron, Kenny Baker with Monroe, and a number of tunes by the Bluegrass Alliance) that seem to have been broadcast on the radio.  Side B begins with a couple of tunes by unknown artists-possibly Butch Robins & bobby Wolfe, but quickly segues into the Kenny Baker & Joe Greene session which dominates the side.  Baker & Greene are accompanied by an unknown guitarist throughout the jam, and they play some lovely waltzes.  The date and location of this session is unknown, but I suspect it was recorded at the Old Time Pickin' Parlor, Nashville, TN, circa-early 1970's.  Baker & Greene recorded a long out-of-print 1968 LP together-"High Country" (County 714).

The tape is a 3.75 inch per second mono recording.  The reel was played on a modified Revox A77 reel-to-reel machine with a Reutelhuber custom designed and built tape head preamplifier incorporating 2003 era technology and components including all metal film resistors, polypropelene coupling capacitors, and low ESR electrolytic supply bypass capacitors.  The resulting analog signal was digitized 
by a Mytek Digital 8X96 analog to digital converter using Steinberg Nuendo as the recording software and saved as a 24 bit 48 kHz wave file.  

Post processing and was done with Nuendo using the following Waves 
Plugins: X-Hum, Q10, LinEQ Lowband, C1 comp-gate, C1 comp-sc, Mixer Delay, S1 Shufflerand L3.  The file was dithered down to a 16 bit/44.1kHz wave file.

The box is unlabeled.  The reel is labeled 'Butch'.  Tut's notes say Butch Robbins/B. Woolfe & other/Joe Greene & Kenny Baker.
