Godfather Records - GR 218
The Naked Empire on the Godfather label is another release of the Empire Burlesque outtakes that have been released previously. The sessions for Empire Burlesque were held in New York and Hollywood from July 1984 to April 1985.
The first title with these outtakes can be found on Clean Cuts (Sick Cat GRAB003) in 1992. While the sound quality on that release was good it ran too fast. Outside the Empire (Wanted Man WMM 60) followed two years later and the great Dylan label corrected the speed of the tape and produced an excellent edition. Wanted Man was copied on Tempest Storm (no label) in 1997 and this was followed in 1998 by Tempest Storm (Theremin / Golden Archive Vol. 14).
Godfather presents the same track listing with nothing new, but the correct speed has been preserved and the sound quality is an improvement over the Wanted Man issue.
The Naked Empire claims to be remastered on the cover, and the sound quality is very good with very little hiss. There are good notes printed on the inside cover of the tri-fold gatefold sleeve giving accurate recording information for each track. The design is good too, with various publicity photographs from the era and an appropriate eighties color scheme. (GS)

Loving all this great Dylan lately -- THANK YOU! And, we love to malign Dylan's 80s songs, but there is some real good stuff here.
much more Robert Zimmerman to come.
That's good news!
I've enjoyed every other Dylan rarity you've posted (and thanks a lot for uploading those), so I'm anxiously awaiting new posts!
Thanks
Thanks.

Thank you!!
Can someone please tell me if Mick Taylor plays the guitar in these sessions?
Thanks in advance!
Mick Taylor is listed on four of the tracks, along with three additional guitar players.
Ronnie Wood is the only guitarist listed on six of the other tracks, and it's Ira Ingber on the remaining six.
Hope that helps, Quique.
That has helped me more than expected! Thanks a lot Jim!
Thanks for the info regarding Mick Taylor. That settles it, in my mind, and I will download the offering.
i love your blog, can you please upload more hollow horn realises from the great Dylan?. thanks
