Allen Ginsberg - "First Blues" - vinyl 2LP set: John Hammond Records W2X 37673 (USA),
1982; 2CD reissue: Water Records water166 (USA), 21 Feb 2006:
Recorded New York, 17 Nov 1971, Bob contributes vocals and plays guitar. Although several sources give the release date as 1983, the album is
actually dated 1982 on both the sleeve and the records. It comes in a gatefold sleeve with a booklet entitled "The
Ginsberg Gallimaufry" and a separate double-sided page of photos. R-0158 is
titled Jimmy Berman (Gay Lib Rag).

R-0157 Going To San Diego (Allen Ginsberg) - this song is copyrighted to Allen Ginsberg even though Ginsberg publicly credited Bob with the musical arrangement R-0158-2 Jimmy Berman Rag (Allen Ginsberg/Bob Dylan) - this track also appeared on a 1974 anthology Disconnected - The Dial-A-Poem Poets Double, Giorno Poetry Systems (USA), see 1974 R-0159 Vomit Express
(Allen Ginsberg/Bob Dylan) In "Tangled Up In Tapes" Glen Dundas records that Bob may also have played on Tyger (the famous William Blake poem set to music by Allen Ginsberg) in New York on 20 Nov 1971. However, he states that this track may have been recorded at a later date without Bob, as indeed it was, in Feb-Mar 1981, as stated on the back page of the "Gallimaufry", where the actual musicians are credited. Thanks to Kenneth Robson for information and scans of the LP set. The copy shown has a gold promo stamp shown above right. Thanks to Thomas Michalzic for the information this album was released on CD for the first time on 21 Feb 2006, and thanks to Jean-Pol Hiernaux for further information and scans. The front insert is a 16-page booklet that contains many, but not all, of the pictures included on the album's photograph pages. |
