Big Boy Henry New Bern unreleased version
"New Bern" (version 1b), offered here for the first time, is an earlier rendition of a rare Big Boy classic, later to appear on the B side of Audio Arts EP 008 "Mr. Balls Warehouse". The guitar heard herein is ALL Big Boy! This is my favorite track of the Electric Sessions (most never issued). .
