In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of The Band‘s landmark debut album, Music From Big Pink is released on a single CD featuring a new stereo mix of the album, produced by Bob Clearmountain from the original four-track analog master.
This new mix achieves a striking clarity and incorporates some previously unreleased chatter from the studio sessions. The songs on this superb album include The Weight, This Wheel’s On Fire, Tears of Rage and To Kingdom Come and the cover art was painted by Bob Dylan (the ‘Big Pink’ being the upstate New York house where The Band wrote the songs).
Bob Clearmountain has created the new stereo mix (which features on the CD and double vinyl) from the original four-track analog masters.
The CD features six outtakes/alternates (including an unreleased A Cappella version of I Shall Be Released) and the seven-inch included is a recreation the original 1968 single for The Weight and I Shall Be Released.
