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 cover 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 - lyrics on bobdylan.com
This is the version with Bob on piano, one of the two complete takes recorded at Columbia Studios, New York, on 12 Aug 1963 (CO78980). The Witmark demo version which also circulates unofficially has Bob on guitar, as do the out-takes from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, recorded at Columbia Studios, New York, on 6 Dec 1962 (CO77020). 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. |

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) |

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. Patrick Sky takes the lead vocal. This track is now collected on the boxed set The Best Of Broadside 1962-1988, Smithsonian Folkways Records, 2000. Thanks to Jack from Canada 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.
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 and Jack from Canada for scans.
Richard Fariña/Eric von Schmidt - "Dick Fariña & Eric von Schmidt" -
vinyl LP, Folklore F-LEUT/7 (UK), early 1964:
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 cover variations. Jean-Pol Hiernaux reports that
Douglas Cooke, webmaster of the Richard and Mimi
Fariña 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.

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 Fariňa R-0013 Xmas Island (Richard Fariña) R-0014 Cocaine [Cocaine

R-0015 London Waltz (Richard Fariña) - Bob's contribution here is not confirmed. again there is a prominent harmonica player, but it could be Richard Fariňa
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
Above 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 Fariña/von Schmidt LP, is actually a song that Dylan, Fariña, 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. 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 cover 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. |

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

This album was also released as Broadside Records BR 592 with the same sleeve. For information on Folkways/Broadside cover colour variations, see 1963. In this case the cover 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
on CD by mail order from Smithsonian
Folkways
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 cover art 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 cover. Thanks to Jean-Pol Heirnaux for finding a Smithsonian cassette version on eBay.

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). The dark maroon mono US labels shown are very rare and are of the first US pressing.

R-0607
This Land Is Your Land [incorrectly titled This Land
Is
My Land] (Woody Guthrie) - live with Pete Seeger and ensemble,
Newport Folk Festival, Newport, RI, 28 Jul 1963 (stereo version) R-0607M This Land Is Your Land [incorrectly titled This Land Is My Land] (Woody Guthrie) - live with Pete Seeger and ensemble, Newport Folk Festival, Newport, RI, 28 Jul 1963 (mono version) 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). Confirmation required! 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. Thanks to Anthony Bush for informing the stereo performance is now available on the compilation CD The Essential Pete Seeger, see 2005. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scan. |
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 Philips, now PolyGram/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!
 Fontana TFE 18009 (UK) - front scan by Norman Barrett |
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! |

R-0311M-2 With God On Our Side
- with Joan Baez (TFE18009), recorded at the
morning workshop, Newport Folk Festival, Newport, RI, 27 Jul 1963, from
Newport Broadside (Topical Songs), see
above (mono version)
This performance of 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 performance designated as 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.
R-0022M-2 Blowin' In The Wind (TFE18010) recorded live at the Newport Folk
Festival, Newport, RI, 26 Jul 1963, from The Newport Folk Festival
- 1963: The Evening Concerts Vol. 1,

"Topical Songs" workshop, Newport Folk Festival, Newport, RI, 28 Jul 1963, from
Newport Broadside (Topical Songs), see
above (mono version)
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

"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. |

 Elektra EKS-7264 (USA stereo) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
R-0038 Downtown Blues
(Geoff Muldaur) - Bob plays piano as "Bob Landy" for Geoff Muldaur
(stereo version)
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 Schmidt’s playing on one channel and Dylan’s typically hammering style of playing on the other." The stereo US record was re-released twice in the 1970s, when Elektra Records had new 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 1960s release came with a booklet also showing 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. This Blues Project album was also released on vinyl in the UK in 1987 by Edsel, but it has not yet been reissued on CD. R-0038 is now included in the 5CD Rhino compilation Forever Changing: The Golden Age Of Elektra Records 1963-1973, see 2006. 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 UK 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. Thanks to Hans Seegers, Olav Langum, Alan Tautfest, Peter Gilmer and Colin Baker for information and scans. |

Victoria Spivey, Roosevelt Sykes, Big Joe Williams & Lonnie Johnson -
"Three Kings And The Queen" - 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.
As far as I know, these albums are mono only. They are both still available on
vinyl from
www.spiveryrecords.com. The photograph on the back cover of New
Morning is young Bob with Victoria Spivey, taken at Cue Recording Studio, New
York, 2 Mar 1962., when these three performances were recorded.
The 1972 re-release has a printed insert in the top left hand corner with "Historic tracks - Bob Dylan appears with Big Joe Williams" and the cover is black/white as opposed to the original release of brown/yellow. Thanks to Keith Venturoni for scans of a 1972 re-release without the Dylan insert.
Thanks to Hans Seegers for the 1964 scans and the information that the original cover scan shown here was that of the 1972 reissue and not of the original album!
Thanks to Jean-Pol Hiernaux, Peter Gilmer and Jack from Canada 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 Kenneth Robson for scans of his reissue LP which has a different label design.
