(1-7) East Orange Tape, 1961
(8-14) Carnegie Chapter Hall, New York, Nov 4, 1961
A nicely organized CD with two complete recordings of '61 Dylan tapes.
The sound is very good overall, and better on the East Orange cuts then
the New York cuts (If you just want the Carnegie Chapter Hall concert,
there is less static on the "Acoustic Troubador" CD described below).
This CD contains a booklet with a description of the circumstances of
these recordings in German, French, Italian, and English. The English
is at times humorous: "Mr and Mrs Gleason conceived a passion for
Woodie Guthrie and the folk music; so they was used to record the music
that friends and frequent callers played at their home." Besides
peculiar wording, the information is gotten across, and the packaging
is not skimpy. The label side of the disc is decorated with black
mirror images of a head and shoulder shot of a young Dylan, with the
disc title in orange.

(1-7) Carnegie Chapter Hall, New York, Nov 4, 1961
(8-9) Bangladesh Afternoon show, Aug 1, 1971 (from Radio interview)
(10-11) Blood on the Tracks Outtakes
Strangely, none of my foreign correspondents have seen this CD yet.
This is a nice product- the CD is pretty full, the sound is great and
the packaging is attractive. When I first saw it, I thought "Strange
that they didn't include the acoustic Idiot Wind." Listened to it,
and, well, they did. Cuts 10 and 11 are actually:
10. Idiot Wind
11. Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts
and 'If You See Her' is left off the disk. On the disc itself, the
track listing is correct, even though the packaging is wrong. Too bad,
as otherwise this gets full marks. Cuts 8 and 9 are from the afternoon
show, and not on the legitimate Concert for Bangladesh release. The
disc packaging consists of hand-colored black and white photos of
Dylan, to good effect.

11. Hiram Hubbard
12. Blowing in the Wind
13. Rocks and Gravel
14. Quit Your Low Down Ways
15. He Was a Friend of Mine
16. Let Me Die in My Footsteps
This CD is a good example of why people dislike bootlegs. Despite its label,
the disc itself is missing "Song to Woody" from the Gaslight- a stupid omission
since the Gaslight Tape is widely circulated. The order of the Finjan Club
cuts printed on the disk does not match the order they actually appear in -
that is just plain sloppy production.
The sound quality is not good- about the same as my Nth generation tape of
the performance. The vocals are clear, but there is a lot of static and
a constant hiss.
PERFORMANCE: 5
SOUND: 4
RECOMMENDATION: Get a tape of this instead.

This 4 CD set can be found overseas sold both individually and in a
set, and are quite inexpensive ($30-40 US for all 4). I have not seen
them anywhere in the States. Each sports a different photo of Bob on
the front, but minimal additional packaging. While inexpensive, each
disc is not really all that full- all of these songs could have been
put on just two CDs (and in fact, most of it can be found on two other
CD boots). The first two discs include the exact same material which
is available on the more common 'Gaslight Tapes' CD in the same sound
quality. The second two discs include all the material that is on the
'Bob Dylan - Montreal 1962 New York 1961' CD, however Song to Woody is
included on these discs and the sound here is much better. The discs
include an address: Magic Music, Orionweg 17, 2000 Hamburg 65, Germany.

Dr. Zimmerman's Original Old Time Hootenany
Archive Productions AP 89003 Made in Italy runs 67:59
Disk titled Bob Dylan:"Who You Really Are"
This CD is composed of 4 tracks, each having multiple songs. The packaging
with this disk is nice, containing a fold-out front paper, with several
pictures of Bob in his youth. For the most part, the recording quality
varies from only fair to very good.

The Times They Are A Changin'
Bob Dylan's Dream
Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll
Girl from the North Country
A Hard Rains A Gonna Fall

7,8 Legitimately Released on Biograph
This bootleg is of very good quality, and produced by the same label that put
out 'More Music From Big Pink'. Amazingly, only 3 of the cuts are not
available legitimately at this time, so it is hard to recommend this disk.
It includes an 8 page color booklet with pics of Dylan.

10-14 Gerdes Folk City, May 1962
15-18 WBAI Billy Faier, Oct 1962
This is a picture CD, although the picture is from 1969- Dylan with a
light beard wearing dark clothing against a dark background. (In fact,
the insert includes a picture snipped from the Isle of Wight
promotional poster!) Despite these anachronisms, the packaging for this
disk is attractive.
The sound quality is good, although there is slight static and a few
soft ticks. Perhaps the songs here are taken from vinyl. The very
beginning of cut 7 is missing. The music is mostly compelling,
although the last song, the only I hadn't heard before, did nothing for
me.
This proved to be a hard disc to locate- originally it was sold with a
'limited edition' numbered sticker, but currently the sticker has
disappeared.

Strip Tease (cd) Condor 1965
This cd boot consists mostly of tracks previously available on the old
bootleg lps "Stealin" [S] and "GWW John Birch Society Blues" [G]. The
cover says "taken from the recorder tape", but in fact the sound is
identical to those old boots (i.e. very muddy). Still, it has some
excellent material which doesn't seem to be available in any other form
at the moment. Warning: like other Condor cd boots, the speed is off
-- a tad slow.

2) She Belongs to Me [S]

Tracks 1-8 are from the 1965 Hawks sessions. I should check to see if 3 is
the same as biograph. Sound on these tracks is pretty good.
Tracks 9-10 are said to be "Edinburgh, May 5, 1966"
Clearly, this is incorrect. I'm not sure where these are from.
Dylan is singing with an odd voice here, and the sound on Like a Rolling Stone
briefly fades into static in the middle- otherwise sound is not bad.
Tracks 11-14 are said to be "Philadelphia, PA, November 24, 1964"
Another mystery, eh? These sound like they are recordings of a poorly
amplified concert- there is no static, but the music is distorted and
distant, yielding only a fair sound.
The jewel box is molded from blue plastic, and packaging is average. Overall
the sound is quite a step below Record Document's other Dylan CDs.

Bob Dylan - San Francisco Press Conference Dec. 3rd 1965.
Made in France.
This is a 49:55 minute, one cut CD containing the 12/3/65 press
conference. It claims to be a limited pressing of 500- and I have
wonder why someone would bother to put this on CD, when there is
so much music... It comes with 2 English booklets from 1965, and
they are filled with mostly dated and incorrect information.

The first four (acoustic) tracks are from the Dublin concert (not
exactly 'live in England'...); the following seven (electric) tracks
duplicate 'Royal Albert Hall' (omitting "I Don't Believe You"). It
sounds like it was copied from vinyl. The Dublin tracks sound better
than the Bulldog cd, though not as good as some vinyl boots; the
'Royal Albert Hall' tracks are significantly worse than the Swinging
Pig cd.

The first 4 cuts are from the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, 5/17/66.
The last three are probably from RAH 5/27/66.
Regardless, the sound quality is excellent. Swinging Pig seems to have
used some sort of "NoNoise" process to reduce tape hiss, clicks, etc.
It has really worked well. This is the best sounding of the '66 tour CDs.
These songs are all acoustic, and Dylan's performance sounds less hindered by
drugs then so many of the '66 shows.
Annoyingly, the last cut is faded out.
PERFORMANCE: 8 (a bit slow)

This is well packaged, and of similar sound quality to the better known
Swinging Pig TSP-CD-009. Probably the Swinging Pig disk was used as a
master. Visually, the disk has orange stripes painted on the disk from
the center, like spokes. The tracking of this CD is different then that
on the Pig disk- here divisions are after Dylan introduces a song
instead of before (ie the Judus exchange is on the end of the previous
cut instead of where you would expect it). For this reason, I'd
recommend the Swinging Pig disc instead.

This is, of course, music taped in the basement of Big Pink, during the

The recording quality of this music varies quite a bit. (One song, "One
Man's Loss" has Dylan so faint that I think it must have been recorded
from another room!) Overall, the sound is below average. A few cuts
do stand out, however- perhaps because the music is seductive.

Well, it is nice to get all the cuts from this concert, albeit somewhat
out of order. I haven't heard a tape of this concert, but the variation
in sound quality on this recording is surprising. Many cuts are clear,
excellent sound. Others have Dylan's singing almost inaudible, with
slight feedback. Could this be the best there is? Of course, the
four cuts which appeared on Self Portrait are present with good sound.
On this disc, some of the cuts fade in and out.
This concert should see a legit release, I think. Pleasant, if
somewhat uninspired, music. The packaging includes a color photo of
Dylan at the concert, and reproduces a promotional poster for the
show.

I have this on tape as well, and the CD is, if anything, a tad better
sounding then my tape. (Presumably, the effect of Swinging Pig's
NoNoise processing). In any event, this 2 CD set is remains true to
the actual concert, except omitting the last 4 songs. This is
annoying, as there was clearly room on these disks. (Was this because
this was taken from a soundboard tape?) As far as concerts go, this one
is just average... I've heard better and heard worse.
Packaging is adequate... white and black low budget appearance.

This is the March 23 SNACK Benefit concert at which Bob was a surprise
guest, and it is really too bad his vocal performance here is almost
inaudible- probably as a result of poor sound mixing or something. Everything
else sounds fine, but I can't recommend this recording to Dylan fans.
The performance of 'Knocking on Heaven's Door' has substantially different
lyrics here, and is the most interesting cut on the CD.
The packaging is mostly black, with a single photo of Dylan and Young at the
concert.

This is the '78 rehearsal tape, similar to 'Moving Violation', except
edited to omit partial songs and material between takes. The sound
quality is quite good, slightly better then on 'Moving Violation'.
The packaging is somewhat random. The front-piece sports a mid-60s Dylan
4-colored in day-glo tones. It folds out to display a reasonably
interesting photo of Bob looking through a broken telephone booth door
and 4 rather odd cartoons images of Bob. This is printed on glossy
paper. The side/back paper in the jewel box is unremarkable photocopy
on a dull lavendar paper. On the disc itself is a reddish-brown and
black two color silk screened photo of Dylan, maybe from '78, maybe
more recent. This is similar to, but nicer looking then the 1986 Press
Conference picture disc.

I have somewhat mixed feelings about this release. On one hand, it is
exactly what a purist hopes for- an entire concert, labeled and ordered
properly. On the other hand, it is only a decent audience recording,
and Dylan sounds particularly shrill. I think 'Golden Stars' could
have found a better '78 show. Despite my opinion, I have heard people
say that this was their favorite show from this tour, as Dylan exhibits
a great deal of energy during this performance.
The packaging is a double CD box with a green profile of Dylan against
a red background. The insert booklet is minimal, and repeats the
information on the outside of the box. The choice of a title for this
CD is also a bit odd, as 'I Was Young When I Left Home' is not sung at
this concert.

The sound on this disc is excellent, as well it should be, as this is
the Westwood One Superstar Concert broadcast of August 30, 1986.
No reason this material couldn't be released legitimately- it really
makes me wish Columbia would have put out this instead of that awful
Dylan and the Dead album.
Packaging is minimal, although attractive enough- two unrelated artworks
adorn the front and back, with no photos of Dylan or Petty to be seen.
--
There is another CD available, 'Bob Dylan & Tom Petty, Dueling Banjos'
which has identical material to the above, despite being labeled
'Seattle 1989'. I haven't heard this disc yet, but there is no reason
to expect the sound quality is not excellent since this material was
professionally recorded.

Let there be no doubting the audacity of these bootleggers. There is
an Austrailian address printed on the CD packaging, but my
correspondent in Sydney assures me it is phony. A good thing for
these guys, because many of the cuts on this album are taken directly
from commercial releases! 'Under The Red Sky' on this CD is identical
to the title track on Bob's last album; 'Nobody's Child' is directly
from the Romanian Angel Appeal effort; and so on. Filling out this
album are the initial takes from the first Wilbury album, and some
instrumental pieces. The sound is excellent and packaging is colorful,
with a photo and cartoon of the five Wilburys. Since most of this
material is recent and available legitimately, you should pass this
by.

Sound on these disks is excellent, and while Dylan was untalkative during this
period, he and GE Smith certainly cranked out the music. Including some
rare performances from this tour (Tangled Up in Blue, Tears of Rage (debut!))
as well as covers (House of Gold, Pancho and Lefty, You Don't Know Me) makes
this collection especially nice.

This CD is a compilation of tracks from the excellent audience recordings
made during Dylan's 1990 residency in London. Columbia really missed the
boat by not releasing a live album from this tour. Even though I'd have
prefered a complete concert (or even a psuedo concert with the best tracks
from this week of dates- oh what a double CD this could have made) I'm
happy with this Oh Mercy pastiche. The last three songs are excellent
performances, and a welcome addition. The short length is probably an
artifact from the LP boot, 'Deadpan Twist' of which this is a direct copy.
The CD itself sports a black and silver image of Bob, with an artsy blue
streak down the side.
Blue Ridge Mountain is a traditional song, perhaps better known as
I've Been All Around This World.

Comments:
This is one strange disc. They have interwoven 2 concerts, 1-3 and 11-13
are from Adelphi, with the 4-10 belonging to the Terkel show. Also, the
shows are mis-identified, with the Terkel material being identified as
Adelphi, and vice-versa, except for #9, which has no attribution. Additionally,
#4's correct title is 'Farewell". To interweave these 2 shows, they pulled
a weird trick, by inserting what are probably the same crowd noises (only
varied) between all the songs. So one gets the impression that it is all
the same concert (although they make no attempts to identify it as such
on the packaging). Stranger yet, I have been informed that the Terkel tape
as such has _no_ crowd noises, as it is just an interview and Bob playing.
For this disc, there are no traces that there was an interview. The
sound quality varies. The Adelphi stuff is pretty good, with some distortion
on the lower frequencies (Bob's voice and the bass strings on the guitar),
yet the highs are clear. Nowhere near as good as the Manchester quality
though. The Terkel show songs, on the other hand, are of excellent sound
quality. So good, in fact, that it's hard to believe that it is
a 1963 non-studio recording. Which leads me to point out the next oddity -
both the packaging and the disc itself identify the disc as being ADD and
stereo! I'm not sure how it could have been digitally mixed, although from
the sound of the Terkel songs, I'm almost willing to believe it. The stereo
claim seems dubious, given that I'm 97% positive they must have been mono
tapes. What seems possible is that the makers of the disc digitally mixed
an audience track with the concert track, and messed around with the
channels so that it sounds like stereo. So what we have here is a strange
animal - a synthetic Dylan concert, which on the whole sounds pretty good.
Knowing it's fake though does kind of detract from it though, but it is
fairly enjoyable.
As promised here you find the real content of Collection. If
you compare this list with my previous one you see that
the printed order is different from the real one!
I would rate the sound-quality Fair to Good, some songs are
a bit better, some are a bit worse than on my best first-
generation bootleg-records.

Isis 37 has reviews of 40 bootleg CDs, and I count 13 they missed, so there
are now over 50 of these things... what is this world coming to?
Bob Dylan - Down in the Flood

Blind Willie Mc Tell 4:25
Sweetheart Like You 3:54
I And I 4:49
Foot of Pride 3:47
These are Infidels outtakes, but the selection is somewhat puzzling.
Many of the outtakes here are almost identical to the versions
appearing on Infidels. Inexplicably missing are Julius and Ethel and
the Tell Me outtake which didn't appear on the Bootleg Series, and
included are songs like Foot of Pride, which does. Fortunately,
the version of Blind Willie here is the one which was left off of the
Bootleg series.
The packaging is black and white, and somewhat minimal even if smart
looking. The sound quality is good, but worse then I would expect from
studio outtakes- the bootleggers probably didn't look too hard for a
crisp copy of this material.
All in all, I can't recommend this disc, except to completists.

This is exactly what I want to see. A complete show, properly
labeled, in excellent audience sound. They've even chosen a great
concert. Nothing unprofessional about this disc, and it deserves
a very strong recommendation.
The packaging here is minimal, but the cover includes a color
picture of Bob looking angrily at his cigarette, a harmonica (labeled
"G"!) hangs in a holder around his neck.

Finally I ran across one of those Black Panther CDs- they are made and
sold in Japan...
Bob Dylan- Live in New York 1964
Black Panther BPCD021 1989
1 The Times They Are A-Changin'
2 Spanish Harlem Incident
3 John Birch Society Blues
4 To Ramona

7 If You Gotta Go, Go Now
8 It's Alright Ma

This is a direct copy of the CD released by "Record Document" as DR 001 CD,
with different packaging (although the drawing of Dylan appearing on the
Record Document CD was reused!)
Black Panther has put out other copies of bootlegs, although I haven't seen
them yet.
