These 12" acetates are owned by a former music reviewer of the "Village Voice" in New York. They are in the original brown paper dust jackets, with various notes and routing info, including John Hammond's name. Also, there is a copy of the Columbia Records album sleeve plus a mastering page with a wealth of information as to contents, recording dates, release dates, etc. There is also a note on the letterhead of producer Tom Wilson addressed to the reviewer, instructing her to not mention Hero Blues in her review! More details of these acetates are required! Are they mono or stereo? They are probably mono because the 1980 and 2007 appearances of R-0390 are in mono. As far as I know all the other tracks are the released versions.

R-0390 Hero Blues -
out-take from The Times They Are A-Changin', recorded at
Columbia Studios, New York, 12 Aug 1963 This song was replaced by One Too Many Mornings on the final album. This version of Hero Blues also appeared (titled The Gal I Love) on a 4-track Columbia US acetate which surfaced in 1980, and which must predate this album, and again on eBay on a Columbia US acetate in Jul 2007. |

More details of these acetates are required! Are they mono or stereo? R-0022 Blowin' In The Wind - recorded live at the Newport Folk Festival, Newport, RI, 26 Jul 1963, released in 1964 on the Vanguard LP Evening Concerts At Newport Vol. 1, see below (stereo version) If mono this would be R-0022M. R-0024 Only A Pawn In Their Game - from the March On Washington, Washington, DC, 28 Aug 1963, included on the Folkways album We Shall Overcome (see below) |

More details of these acetates are required! Are they mono or stereo? R-0219 Troubled
And I Don't Know Why (with Joan Baez) - live Forest Hills
Tennis Stadium, New York, 17 Aug 1963 (released in 1993 on the Joan Baez Vanguard boxed set Rare, Live &
Classic, see 1993). Two solo songs by Bob from this show, Only A Pawn In Their Game (R-0891) and A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall (R-0892), appeared on a Riverside Records 12" acetate LP, see 2011. |

R-0458
Paths Of Victory - Bob sings backup vocals on this cover
version by The Broadside Singers of the Dylan song eventually released on The
Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3, 1991.
The Smithsonian web-site says that Patrick Sky takes the lead vocal, but Peter
Stone Brown says it's actually by David Cohen (later David Blue).
This track is now collected on the boxed set The Best Of Broadside 1962-1988,
Smithsonian Folkways Records, 2000.
Thanks to Jack Guerreiro for confirming this possible Dylan involvement from the
Smithsonian Folkways web-site (this site listed it before they did). It's
worth adding the caveat that the recording took place in New York on 29
Oct 1964 and neither Glen Dundas nor Michael Krogsgaard list a Dylan
involvement in this date. Peter is also sure that Bob does not appear on
this performance, but it's listed here for completion.
The 1964 LP comes in a plain black sleeve with a wraparound label pasted over the front and part of the back. There was also a folded booklet. The record has pale orange Broadside labels.
Both Broadside Ballads Vol. 3 and The Best Of Broadside
1962-1988 are available by mail order from Smithsonian Folkways
Records
The 1960s albums are supplied as CD-Rs and
original LP artwork and liner notes are provided on a PDF file on the
CD-R. The CD-R comes in a generic double card sleeve with the original
front artwork and track list pasted on a label.
Thanks to David Plentus, Jack Guerreiro and Manuel Garcia Jara for information and scans.
Richard Fariņa/Eric von Schmidt - "Dick Fariņa & Eric von Schmidt" -
mono vinyl LP releases, Folklore F-LEUT/7 (UK), early 1964:
This album was
recorded at Dobell's Jazz Record Shop in London on 14-15 Jan 1963, Bob
(as "Blind Boy Grunt"), who was present on 15 Jan 1963 only, supplied harmonica and back-up vocals to
the tracks listed below. This
album, which was released in mono only, was reissued several times with label and/or sleeve variations. Jean-Pol Hiernaux reports that
Douglas Cooke, webmaster of the Richard and Mimi
Fariņa fan site, gives this album a release
date of May 1963, see
. The date I've used comes from Glen
Dundas - there is no date on the record sleeve or labels.
 Folklore F-LEUT/7 (UK) - front scan by Gerd Rundel (test pressing) |
Gerd Rundel has a copy of this album in what looks like the normal fully laminated sleeve with two folded-over flaps on the rear, where the record labels are plain white with typed text in black and red, which would indicate a test pressing. The record is made of heavyweight vinyl and has the same matrix numbers as those on the regular pressings: Side 1 - DW 133-2 (stamped), Side 2 - DW-134-3 (written). For comment on the different commercial label designs, see below. |

R-0011 Glory, Glory (traditional)
R-0012 You Can Always Tell (Furry Lewis) - Bob's contribution here is not confirmed, there is a prominent harmonica player, but it could be Richard Fariņa
R-0013 Xmas Island (Richard Fariņa)
This track is now included in a 4CD UK compilation Midwinter from Free
Reed Records, see 2006. This is not Christmas
Island by Lyle Moraine, recorded by Bob in 2009 on Christmas In The Heart.
R-0014 Cocaine [Cocaine
Blues] (traditional)

For a performance by Bob live
from the El Rey Theater, Los Angeles, 16 Dec 1997, released on Columbia CD singles and
on a bonus CD with the Australian release of Time
Out Of Mind, see 1998
R-0015 London Waltz (Richard Fariņa) - Bob's contribution here is not confirmed. Again there is a prominent harmonica player, but it could be Richard Fariņa
R-0016 Overseas Stomp (Jab Jones/Will Shade) - although Bob played on takes 5, 6 and 7 on 15 Jan 1963, the booklet states the released take is take 3 from 14 Jan 1963 when Bob wasn't present
The information given re R-0011 to R-0016 is the commonly accepted view of Bob's contribution and the writer credits (all the tracks previously listed have prominent harmonica). However, Gil Walker comments: "In "Positively 4th Street," David Hajdu reports that London Waltz, on the 1963-recorded Fariņa/von Schmidt LP, is actually a song that Dylan, Fariņa, and von Schmidt improvised together two days before it was recorded. It is, of course, impossible to determine how much (if any) of Dylan's contribution survives on the recorded song. Hajdu also had access to the master tapes and session logs for the album, and declares that standard reports of Dylan's contribution to the LP are incorrect. (Notes to p.141, US edition) He says that London Waltz, Overseas Stomp, and You Can Always Tell were recorded on January 14, without Dylan. He also notes that the January 15 recording of Xmas Island, with Dylan, is missing from the master tapes (implying, I guess, that a different take was released). Finally, he reports that three out-takes of Overseas Stomp with Dylan backup were recorded, and remain unreleased."
The illustrations of the session recording sheets in the 2007 CD reissue (see below) show that Bob (listed as Bob "Diglan") was indeed present on 15 Jan 1963, and played on Glory, Glory, Xmas Island, Overseas Stomp and Cocaine. I have now changed the entries for London Waltz, You Can Always Tell and the released take of Overseas Stomp to show Bob's contribution is not confirmed, although Peter Stone Brown is adamant he can hear Bob on London Waltz. The album also contains several songs with quotes used in songs on Time Out Of Mind and "Love And Theft".
Don Cohen has a copy of the LP that Hans Seegers informs me was reissued in 1974, which he describes as follows: "The one I purchased has a black 'Folklore' logo, black ink throughout the label, the newspaper the rider holds says 'Made in England', songs are listed horizontally, not stacked vertically as on other versions I've seen online, and the laminated sleeve color is a bright yellow. Here are the some of the key differences between my LP label and the label on eBay:
My copy's label: *White label. All ink is in black. *Even the Folklore name is black. *The newspaper the rider figure is holding out contains the words "Made in England" *Song titles on each side are displayed horizontally, that is, some lines have 2 songs titles *Farina has three parenthetical attributions. No other track has a credit, not even Trad. *Serial number is F/Leut 7 *Matrix number in the trailoff on Side 1 is DW+133+3. On Side 2: DW+134+3. Both are hand-etched.
eBay label: *White label. Ink for the rider and legal info around the perimeter appears to be a sepia-toned brown. *Looks like Farina and Von Schmidt's name are in black ink and the songs are in black ink, too. *The Folklore name is in blue *The newspaper the rider is holding out has the words "Limited Edition" *Song titles are stacked vertically with no parenthetical credits *Serial number is F/Leut 7."
 Folklore F-LEUT/7 (UK) - Side 1 scan by Arie de Reus (replaced design in black) |
Thanks to Kenneth Robson for scans of the "Made In England" and "Limited Edition" versions. As explained in the sleeve notes by Tom Costner to the 2CD 2007 edition, the label design had to be changed to add "MADE IN ENGLAND" because the US Customs would not allow import into the USA of records that did not show the country of origin (the first 500 copies imported by Costner into the USA were destroyed by US Customs for this reason - they unreasonably would not allow Costner to add a stamp or sticker with "MADE IN ENGLAND" to the sleeve or labels). Thanks to Arie de Reus for scans of the replaced design with all printing in black only. |

 Solano 1772 (USA) - 2007 CD reissue front, scan by Jean-Pol Hiernaux |
Thanks to Peter Gilmer for news that this album was released in Jul 2007
as a 2CD set by Solano Records, Vallejo, CA
. This release
is still in mono. The Solano Records web-site lists Bob as
playing only on three of the tracks, omitting You Can
Always Tell, London Waltz and Overseas
Stomp. The first CD
in the set consists of the original album, the second CD of out-takes, none of
which feature Bob. I now have the set, thanks to Jean-Pol
Hiernaux for saving me the task of scanning it! Thanks to Larry Crum for further
information. For two albums by Eric von Schmidt with liner notes by Bob, see Honourable
Mentions. |

This album was also released as Broadside Records BR 592 with the same sleeve. For information on Folkways/Broadside sleeve colour variations, see 1963. In this case the sleeve appears to be printed on a sheet of paper of various colours which was then pasted over the front and part of the back of a plain black sleeve. There was a four page typed booklet with a transcript of the speeches. R-0024-3 Only A Pawn In Their Game (still wrongly
listed as "The Ballad Of Medgar Evers") This album (along with all the other Folkways albums mentioned in these
pages) is now available

Thanks to Rob van Estrik for information that Smithsonian CDs are not mass produced, but are individually burned on to plain CD-Rs to order, and the artwork of the original Folkways LP was not included. Thanks to Jean-Pol Hiernaux for new information that the original artwork can now be downloaded from the Smithsonian Folkways site in PDF form. This US Folkways album was reissued in the 1990s on CD-R, see below. Thanks to David Plentus and Kenneth Robson for scans - Kenneth Robson's copy has the same UCR-1 labels as the release above, Folkways FD 5592 on the booklet and FH 5592 on the sleeve! The eBay copy shown below has Folkways FD 5592 on the sleeve. Thanks to Jean-Pol Hiernaux for finding a Smithsonian cassette version on eBay.

R-0020M Ye Playboys
& Playgirls - with Pete Seeger, recorded at
the "Topical Songs" workshop on 28 Jul 1963 (mono version)
| Ye Playboys & Playgirls has always been thought to have been recorded at the afternoon
workshop on 27 Jul 1963, but sources such as Glen Dundas and Derek Barker
(in Appendix 1 to his 2008 Chrome Dreams book "The Songs He Didn't Write:
Bob Dylan Under The Influence") now think it took place on the following
day.
The lyrics to this song have disappeared from bobdylan.com, but can be
found here
. This song was recorded at the
Broadside offices in New York in Nov 1962, but this is the only known
public performance. The Broadside performance is still officially
unreleased, although it circulates amongst Dylan fans. Emily Lacy's 2011 US album on her own label, Bob Dylan Songs By Emily Lacy, includes a live performance of Ye Playboys and Playgirls. |

R-0311M With God On Our Side
- with Joan Baez,
recorded during the morning workshop on 27 Jul 1963 (mono version)
With God On Our Side is now known not to be the performance from Joan's set at the evening concert on 28 Jul 1963 (R-0021), and also not the performance from the afternoon workshop on 26 Jul 1963 as originally stated here. The real R-0021 was not actually released until 2005 - for video footage of this performance see both the 2005 US Columbia/Legacy DVD No Direction Home - Bob Dylan (see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 3) and the 2007 US Columbia/Legacy DVD The Other Side Of The Mirror: Bob Dylan Live At The Newport Folk Festival 1963-1965 (see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 4). The performance released in 1997 on the Joan Baez Live At Newport CD is from 1964 (R-0253, see 1997). Thanks to Larry Crum and Bob Stacy for information.
Gerd Rundel's copy comes in a thick card original Vanguard sleeve with a generic Vanguard inner sleeve (same both sides). The record has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - R4RM-4169- - 1A, Side 2 - R4RM-4620-1.

The record has an Orizzonte generic inner sleeve with pictures of contemporary albums from the 1960s and 1970s, most by Italian artists. The record of the copy shown has buff Vanguard labels and handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - ORL.8196.1, Side 2 - ORL.8196.2. In addition to these matrix numbers "15.3.78" is handwritten on each side this must be the pressing date (15 Mar 1978). Thanks to Hans Seegers and Gerd Rundel for information and scans. |

More songs recorded at the Newport Folk Festival, Jul 1963. Thanks to
Hans Seegers for the various catalogue numbers and to Gord Pugh for the typo
correction. The dark maroon mono US labels shown are very rare and are of
the first US pressing. The Australian copy shown belonged to Macquarie University, Sydney,
New South Wales, which explains the stickers. The Side 2 record label has the
Allan's logo in common with 1960s Australian CBS Dylan releases (Allan's were
music publishers in
Australia for Bob Dylan records between 1965 and 1969). The New Zealand
release was manufactured by His Master's Voice (New Zealand) Ltd. (part of EMI)
on behalf of Vanguard Records. The rear sleeve has three folded-over flaps.

R-0022M Blowin' In The Wind
- performed live
at the Newport Folk Festival, Newport, RI, 26 Jul 1963 (mono version)
R-0023M We Shall
Overcome (Zilphia Horton/Frank Hamilton/Guy Carawan/Pete Seeger)
- Bob performs
with ensemble at the Newport Folk Festival, Newport, RI, 26 Jul 1963 (mono
version)
Here this song's authorship is wrongly credited to the Freedom Singers - thanks to Alex Munro for
clarification: "Originally
a traditional song "I Will Overcome", picked up by
Seeger, passed to Hamilton and Carawan who somewhere along the line changed to "We
Shall", and introduced it into civil rights protests. Seeger
recognised power of change and adapted it. The Freedom Singers took it from
there, leading to the incredibly moving performance at Newport. Truly the Folk Process in action." The Freedom Singers were
Cordell Reagon, Bernice Johnson (later Bernice Johnson Reagon), Charles Neblett
and Rutha Mae Harris.
This album also includes Ramblin' Jack Elliott singing Diamond Joe, recorded by Bob on Good As I Been To You (1992) and Mississippi John Hurt singing Stagolee, recorded by Bob as Stack A Lee on World Gone Wrong (1993).
Thanks to Hans Seegers, Kenneth Robson, Stuart Moore, Gerd Rundel and Bill Hester for information and scans.

Bob may be included in
this performance. The sleeve notes say: "At
the 1963 Folk Festival, Pete Seeger called on to the stage all the festival
singers he could find, and led them in the singing of a song by another
great contributor to American folk music, Woodrow Wilson Guthrie. The song
was the inevitable one with which to conclude the Newport Folk Festival,
Woody's Guthrie's This Land Is My Land, known
to many as 'The American Folk National Anthem'." This was on 28 Jul
1963, and Bob had previously performed on stage that evening, with Joan
Baez on With God On Our Side (R-0021, see note below), so he may be
singing on this recording (he isn't one of the artists who sing a verse,
but he may be in the chorus).
In fact, R-0021, the evening performance from 28 Jul 1963, was not
actually released until 2005 on the No Direction Home - Bob Dylan
DVD, see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 3.
The performance from the Newport Broadside
(Topical Songs) album (see above) is
now known to be from the morning workshop on 27 Jul 1963, and has been
renumbered R-0311.
There was also an LP called The Newport Folk Festival - 1963: The Evening Concerts Vol. 3, but Bob is definitely not on it. Only Vol. 1 is available today as a US Vanguard CD. I was told the stereo performance is now available on the 2005 Columbia/Legacy compilation CD The Essential Pete Seeger, but the live performance on that CD is actually from New York, 28 Apr 1962, not the Newport Folk Festival, 1963.
Thanks to Hans Seegers, Harold Lepidus, Bob Stacy and Peter Stone Brown for information, to Tricia Jungwirth for finding the US stereo release, to Gerd Rundel for finding the Japanese release on eBay, and to Hans Seegers for the US mono scan.

This compilation was made by Hed-Arzi Ltd. in Israel for Vanguard Records. The sleeve was printed by United Artists Ltd., Israel. Although this album has the same front sleeve design as the well-known albums The Newport Folk Festival -1963. The Evening Concerts Vol. 1/2, it actually is exclusive to Israel, a unique album that includes all known Dylan performances at the Newport Folk Festival, 1963: With God On Our Side (with Joan Baez), Blowin' In The Wind and Ye Playboys & Playgirls together with This Land Is Your Land and We Shall Overcome as part of the ensemble. The album title on the front sleeve is The Newport Folk Festival - 1963. The Evening Concerts but Highlights From The Newport Folk Festival on the record labels. It has an exclusive tracklist taken from the albums Newport Broadside and from the two volumes of The Evening Concerts. The front sleeve has a different artist list matching the content. There are some mistakes on the rear sleeve and the record labels: With God On Our Side is just "God On Our Side", This Land Is Your Land is just "This Land", and Ian & Sylvia are listed as "Jan & Sylvia". The record has red labels, printed directly on to the centre of the vinyl, not made of paper. |

Various Artists - "Newport Folk Festival 1963" - three 7" mono EPs,
Fontana TFE 18009/10/11 (UK), 1964:
In the 1960s US Vanguard records were released in the UK on
the Fontana label (part of the Philips group, later PolyGram, now Universal). The songs below were
released on three EPs extracted from the Vanguard LPs above: Ye Playboys &
Playgirls, With God On Our Side and Blowin' In The Wind.
However, the three EPs were quickly withdrawn from sale because of legal problems with
CBS Records (the then trading name of Columbia in the UK) who had licensed Bob's
appearances on the LPs only. They now command high prices and I was very
short-sighted to buy only TFE 18011 at the time!

This song has always been thought to have been recorded at the
afternoon workshop on 27 Jul 1963, but sources such as Glen Dundas and
Derek Barker (in Appendix 1 to his 2008 Chrome Dreams book "The Songs He
Didn't Write: Bob Dylan Under The Influence") now think it took place on
the following day. The lyrics to this song have disappeared from bobdylan.com, but can be
found here

I also have heard of a UK 3LP set called Newport Folk Festival, Fontana TLF 6038/6041/6042 which contains these four songs - more information and scans required! This name and content appear again in the early 1990s as the name of a Vanguard CD compilation, again more details required!

"With God On Our Side, Parts 1 & 2" - 7" (promo?) single, Columbia or Vanguard (catalogue number?) (USA), 1964:
|
|
I previously listed this just as R-0039, but to achieve consistency in the list I have now allocated a separate R-number to Part 2. I assume this is mono. R-0039 With God On Our Side - Part 1: A-side (time?) R-0594 With God On Our Side - Part 2: B-side (time?) This seems to be a different split of the song (approx. 50-50) from the version given for R-0048/R-0595 (see 1966). Conflicting information is that this is a Vanguard single with a cover version by Joan Baez only! More information required. |

I have two mono copies, one from the USA and one purportedly from the UK. My "UK" release is actually the US mono release, but it has a sticker at top left on the rear sleeve from "MECOLICO", the Mechanical Copyright Licences Company Ltd. This means it was imported legally into the UK and the appropriate royalties were paid. The Elektra address on the rear sleeve is 51 West 51st Street, New York, see below.
My copies have the folded insert mentioned below, printed not photocopied. The record of Colin Baker's US mono copy, also bought in the UK, appears to be in a generic inner sleeve, both my copies are in plain paper sleeves. Both my copies have handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - EKL-264A, Side 2 - EKL-264B.

R-0038 Downtown Blues
(Frank Stokes) - Bob plays piano as "Bob Landy" for Geoff Muldaur
(stereo version, 2:28), recorded Mastertone Studios, New York, Aug/Sep
1963 Rob van Estrik says:
"The
Blues Project LP originally was issued with a separate insert with
detailed liner notes by Paul Nelson. Later pressings omitted the insert. About
Bob Landy the notes say: 'To musicians, his piano playing is almost legend. On Downtown Blues, we have a rare recording of him playing treble piano with
Eric Von Schmidt.' On the
stereo mix (Elektra EKS-7264) you can hear Von Schmidts playing on one
channel and Dylans typically hammering style of playing on the other." The stereo US record was re-released twice in the 1970s, when Elektra Records had different New York addresses in each case. The address on the 1960s album is 51 West 51st Street, on the early 1970s re-release 15 Columbus Circle, and on the late 1970s release it is 1855 Broadway. The insert that came with the 1960s releases also showed the 51 West 51st Street address. The 1960s release shown has plain buff Elektra labels with a white "E" logo, and the stereo LP has "STEREO" printed twice. The 1970s release labels have a butterfly design. Thanks to Hans Seegers for pointing out that the Alan Tautfest's stereo copy must be a reissue from 1966 or later, because in 1964 Elektra in the USA used the same label style as shown on the mono US label above, with a logo of a guitar player. The "white E" logo labels were not introduced until 1966, and were replaced in the 1970s by the butterfly logo labels. Scans of an original 1964 release with guitar player labels needed! Kenneth Robson's late 1970s US copy comes with photocopied inserts as shown (my 1964 US mono copies have a printed insert). Ian Woodward's 1970s US stereo copy with the butterfly record labels was imported into the UK and has a sticker on the shrinkwrap with the pink MECOLICO logo as above and the following wording: "SPECIALLY IMPORTED BY VIXEN 25p" over two lines and then in small typeface, "Under licence from M.C.P.S. on payment of the prescribed royalty payment to the British Copyright owners". This copy did not have an insert. |

Carter) The album also includes Ramblin' Jack Elliott singing traditional songs Roving Gambler, a live recording of which from El Rey Theater, Los Angeles, 17 Dec 1997, was released by Bob on European Columbia Love Sick singles, and also on a bonus disc included with the Australian tour limited edition of Time Out Of Mind, for both see 1998; House Of The Risin' Sun, recorded by Bob on Bob Dylan (1961) and Diamond Joe, recorded by Bob on Good As I Been To You (1992). This is the only occurrence of the mono version, for the stereo version see below. The US album was released twice, first with dark purple labels and then with buff labels. The sleeves were identical. The UK mono release on the Fontana label (the Philips imprint that released Vanguard recordings in the UK at the time, see above) is extremely rare. There are also reports of this song appearing as a Vanguard single - catalogue number? Thanks to Kenneth Robson and Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

Victoria Spivey, Roosevelt Sykes, Big Joe Williams & Lonnie Johnson -
"Three Kings And The Queen" - mono vinyl LP, Spivey LP 1004 (USA), Oct 1964 (recorded
Mar 1962):
Kings And The Queen Vol. 2, which contains two further Dylan rarities with Victoria Spivey and Big
Joe Williams, R-0086 and
R-0087, was not released until Jul 1972, see 1972.
These albums are mono only. They are both still available on
vinyl from
www.spiveyrecords.com. The photograph on the rear sleeve of New
Morning is young Bob with Victoria Spivey, taken at Cue Recording Studio, New
York, 2 Mar 1962, when these performances were recorded.
R-0005 Sitting
On Top Of The World (Walter Jacobs/Lonnie Chatman) - Bob supplies harmonica
and backup vocals for Victoria Spivey and Big Joe Williams
Bob recorded this song on his Good As I
Been To You album, 1992.
R-0006 Wichita Blues (Robert Johnson) - Bob plays harmonica for Victoria Spivey and Big Joe Williams
On the rear sleeve it states "BOB DYLAN, the young folk singer poet of Columbia Records, is the harmonica accompaniment on A-3, B-2. His voice is also heard on A-3."
The 1972 re-release has a printed panel in the top left hand corner with "Historic tracks - Bob Dylan appears with Big Joe Williams" and the sleeve is black/white as opposed to the original release of brown/yellow.
Thanks to Jean-Pol Hiernaux, Peter Gilmer and Jack Guerreiro for news that Spivey Records has
remastered its archives and is reissuing this album amongst others by Victoria
Spivey on CD for the first time, for more details, see here
. This page originally claimed
incorrectly the Spivey session in Mar 1962 was Bob Dylan's first commercial
recording - his first was actually the Carolyn Hester sessions in Sep 1961,
followed by the Harry Belafonte sessions in Feb 1962 (for both see
1962). A CD release was expected in 2008 but so far has not appeared. Thanks
to Hank Wellman for pointing out that the four Victoria Spivey tracks are the
only performances listed in "Bob On The Side"
that are not available on CD!
Thanks to Hans Seegers for the 1964 scans and the information that the original sleeve scan shown here was that of the 1972 reissue and not of the original album!
Thanks to Arie de Reus, Kenneth Robson, Jean-Pol Hiernaux and B. Martin for information and scans.

1964:
There was a 1962 Columbia compilation called
Zenith Presents... All Star Hootenanny. That
album contained three tracks by Bob - Freight Train Blues, Pretty Peggy-O and Corrina, Corrina, the regular album versions from Bob Dylan
and The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. For the mono and stereo releases of that

 Columbia CL 2122 (USA mono) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
The sleeve notes for this album were by music critic Linda Solomon, who correctly identifies Bob's Sep 1961 recording session with Carolyn Hester as his first (not as long believed the Harry Belafonte Midnight Special sessions, also see 1962). On Side 2 this album also contains Blowin' In The Wind, the album track from the mono release of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. The US rear sleeve has a "A" at bottom right next to the track timing box (copies from Hans Seegers and Manuel Garcia Jara both have this). Thanks to Ian Woodward for the information that this album was included as the 5th LP in the Columbia Record Club release of an Elektra US boxed set called The Folk Box. The regular Elektra release of the box was without Dylan - it had four LPs and a 12" square of thick card to leave room for a 5th LP from the Elektra folk releases. |

Manuel Garcia Jara has a very rare copy of this album, which is a promotional album, even though there is not any promo text. It is essentially the same as the commercial album, but the top opening corner of the sleeve has been cut off (right on the front sleeve, left on the rear sleeve). The labels make this album very special, there is a white sticker glued on the centre of each label, hiding the red commercial labels. This sticker has the same information and the same typeface as the commercial labels, although on both labels the text above the centre hole has been printed higher.

The Midnight Special
(Huddie Ledbetter - "Leadbelly") - Bob plays harmonica on the
B-side of this single (mono version), the track originally being the title track from Harry Belafonte's
The Midnight Special
album, see 1962 The Italian single has a different picture sleeve, and the song is called just Midnight Special. The rear has sleeve notes in Italian: the tracks are translated as "Riunione dei Zombies" and "Spettacolo di mezzanotte". Although Dylan is not mentioned, the sleeve notes say " The sound of a bluesy harmonica introduces the voice of a man singing 'Let the midnight special shine a light on me...'". As far as I know these are the only mono appearances of this track outside the original mono LP and a possible 1962 7" mono single.
