Comment
See http://www.searchingforagem.com/1964.htm (near the top of the page) for more
information about this wonderful, historically important, and long out of print album.
21 year-old Bob Dylan sits in as "Blind Boy Grunt" and contributes harmonica and backup
vocals. There is an extensive account of the recording sessions in "Positively 4th Street"
by David Hajdu.

Source: LP to CD transfer (details unknown) > EAC v0.9 prebeta 7 win > WavTrim 2.0 win >
mkwACT v0.97 beta 1 win > shntool v1.01 win (fixed SBEs)
On the original CD I received, there were two second gaps between tracks. This resulted
in track transitions of the form:
short digital pop two second gap short digital pop
I had no way of obtaining a clean copy, so I used WavTrim to remove the two second gaps.
The resulting tracks all have short digital pops between tracks. It's not perfect, but
it's better than what I started with. The pops are somewhat camouflaged by the crackling
of the vinyl.
