Leo Kottke Early Recordings                                           Home

These cuts were recorded at a small, now defunct, coffehouse called "No Exit" located at MacAlester College in St. Paul.
The recording was done in early December, 1968 and I did give Leo a copy of it on cassette in 1996.
 

The recording was done directly off the sound board mix, onto my Viking 433 reel to reel in mono.  Microphones were
Electrovoice 644 on the guitar and a Turner 500 on the voice, if I remember right.  I ran the sound board and the recorder,
so I am responsible for the results...
 

I believe Leo was playing a Guild 12 string and there was about 10 or 12 folks in the audience, including
the 3 of us who were running the place.  Bob Oswood was the manager, I was doing the sound and someone was
at the food counter..

The set consisted of:
 

• Who Do You Love      FULL MP3 CUT!
• Tell Me Mama          FULL MP3 CUT!
• The Last of the Arkansas Greyhounds   Full MP3 Cut
• Don't Have to Use My Imagination No More   Full MP3 Cut
• Girl From the North Country Fair       Full MP3 Cut
• Eight Miles High        FULL MP3 CUT!
• Tell Me This Ain't The Blues   FULL MP3 CUT!

And for more great classic unrecorded folk - try this Ginger Johnson.
