ITEM: Original Master reel to reel recording of Doc Watson Live In Columbus, Ohio, Mid 1960s, 38 listed songs, 2 jokes total. Concert location and date are not listed and it is a very small venue show from the mid 1960s. From the personal private collection of Hank Arbaugh, longtime professional bluegrass musician and Ohio State University educator who, with permission, recorded many professional artists, friends and fellow musicians at various venues as well as their personal private sessions over the span of his career. This is an original recording and not a copy. Hank Arbaugh customized each reel to reel tape box with applied art work design and detailed hand written song lists. Please see photos for easy to read detailed hand written song lists and content. No returns on this item due to its sensitive and fragile nature.
This is a (2) tape set with the concert being on sides 1 and 2 of tape (1) and side 1 only of tape (2); so 3 of 4 available sides total

SIZE: 7" Reel Tapes recorded at 7 1/2 IPS

CONDITION: Sound quality is crisp and clear. High quality recording done through the sound board at the show or via direct microphones on the stage the night of the performance. Tapes have no damage or splices that I can find and play smoothly. Normal storage wear to the box. I have listened to the tapes and ran them through a reel to reel deck with no breaks or problems. These tapes have been in proper storage for decades. Due to the rarity and age of this recording set on reel to reel, great care should be taken when handling and listening to these tapes. PLEASE VIEW ALL PHOTOS AS WE CONSIDER THEM TO BE PART OF THE CONDITION DESCRIPTION.

We will gladly combine items to save on shipping!
