Your Chance To Own Johnny Cash History- Original Recordings on eBay

These are the Original 24-track Master Tape Recording's of Johnny Cash Live on the night of July 28, 1990 at the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park, NY USA. Part of these tapes were released by Universal/Mercury Polygram "The Great Lost Performance."

Another piece of American musical history is going on eBay. The consortium that brought you the Original Master Tape Recording by Bob Dylan that was sold on eBay has done it again. Now on eBay is the actual Original 24-Track Analog Recording of the Johnny Cash Concert that took place on July 28, 1990 at the Paramount Theater, Asbury Park, New Jersey - “The Great Lost Performance”.

This great historical collection of music consists of three 2-inch, 24 track tapes on 14-inch reels. A total of four tapes were used in recording this great performance. Tape Number One remains “lost”. Tape One contained part of the opening act - performances by “The Carter Sisters”. Tape Two starts with the ending of the opening act. Tapes Two through Four contain the entire balance of the show, including all of Johnny Cash’s Performance. These are 24 track tapes recorded at 30 ips, allowing for an unbelievable quality of sound. You actually feel that you are present when listing to these tapes. Each tape has approximately 33 minutes of music on it.

These original master tapes contain unreleased material as well as the first rendition of “What Is Man” by Johnny Cash. You will also find “Vaya Con Dios”. This may be the only version ever recorded by Johnny - unreleased and on Tape Four of this collection. Many critics have lauded this performance of Cash as one of his best, if not best ever. Johnny has been quoted (referring to that night at the Paramount) “It was among my happiest of times”. You hear it in his voice. The banter between the performers (which did not make the CD) is all here on these tapes.
