Johnny Cash's Live Performance at Paramount Theater, July 28, 1990, on Original 24-Track Analog Master Tapes, Now Being Auctioned on eBay

Recording offered by the consortium of Ampersand Records USA, Lake Carmel Music and Navybob, LLC; only existing original analog master tape recordings of this performance

NEW YORK, March 3 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 listening 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. It enlivens and adds a personal touch that you will not get anywhere else.

The auction for this unique, one-of-kind item is being held on eBay, the world's largest online marketplace with a presence in 39 markets, including the U.S., and approximately 84 million active users worldwide.
