Thanks to Ian Woodward for the tracklisting and Jim Paboucek for the scans and especially to Tim Dunn for the copy of the album. Thanks to Bernard Reynaert from Belgium for in formation that a European version of this album exists! He says: "The Live at the Gaslight 1962 CD is now available for a limited time in Belgium through "Humo", a popular weekly magazine. It can be acquired in exchange of a voucher which was in today’s edition (4 Oct 2005) plus 12 Euros only in the “Standaard Boekhandel” (Boekhandel = bookstore) chain stores. I bought my copy in Brussels. The catalogue number of the CD (also a digipak) is COL 82876728622 and is housed in a exclusive brown slipcase which says “Humo presenteert Bob Dylan Live at the Gaslight 1962” (“Humo presents…). There is also a booklet (same as the US release I suppose) but the FBI warning is missing of course. The disc is “Made in the EU” which is on the label."Hans Seegers confirms the disc is made in Austria for
distribution in Belgium only at this time. The voucher was also
included with the 11 Oct 2005 issue of "Humo". The magazine is on sale
throughout the Flemish-speaking part of Belgium. but the vouchers are redeemable
only at Standaard Boekhandel stores. Jean-Pol Hiernaux adds that the the Belgian
release uses much better quality paper for both the digipak and the booklet than
the US release - this is in contrast to the US and European releases of
The Bootleg Series Vol. 7: No Direction Home, where the US booklet is
printed on considerably better paper, and needs a wider slipcase as a result! |

Three songs, all traditional, from this tape of Oct 1962 show or shows at the Gaslight Club, New York, have already been officially released:
The six still unreleased tracks from the tape are: Black Cross (Joseph S. Newman) - a monologue written by the uncle of actor Paul Newman and made famous by Lord Buckley and one of the highlights of the Gaslight tape; an early version of Ballad Of Hollis Brown; Motherless Children (Traditional); Kind-Hearted Woman Blues (Robert Johnson); See That My Grave Is Kept Clean (Blind Lemon Jefferson) - studio version released on Bob Dylan; Ain't No More Cane On The Brazo (James "Iron Head" Baker) - performed on The Basement Tapes by The Band. All seventeen songs circulate amongst Dylan collectors and it is a shame the full seventeen could not be officially released on a single title! Thanks to David Goldsmith for correcting this list.
"No Direction Home: Bootleg Volume 7 - Exclusive Radio Sampler" - radio station CD, Columbia/Legacy COL 1666 (USA), Sep 2005:
![]() Columbia/Legacy COL 1666 (USA) - front scan by Hans Seegers |
Apparently this
seven track CD
went out to
non-profit and adult alternative radio stations. For a Two Hour
Radio Special promo
radio station set on 2CD-Rs without bonus material, see
Promotional Albums (Dylan-only
Compilations) 2000s. It is a
glass-mastered CD, not a CD-R, in a jewel case with front and back inserts.
The catalogue number is not printed on the artwork or the CD, just in the
matrix information at the centre of the disc. Keith Venturoni says: "After track 3, they insert the intro for Dylan at Newport '65 just before track 4 to make it sound as if that intro leads into that outtake". Thanks to Jean-Pol Hiernaux for the information that this is because the track She Belongs To Me is exactly as on The Bootleg Series Vol. 7 - No Direction Home - it has the intro to Maggie's Farm at Newport on the end of the track instead of at the start of Maggie's Farm!

(USA)/Columbia/Legacy SAMPCM 15009 2 (Europe)/Sony Music Direct MBCH 80002
(Japan), 15 Nov 2005:
If you buy No Direction Home: The Soundtrack - The Bootleg Series Vol. 7
and "The Bob Dylan Scrapbook" together from bobdylan.com in the USA, you will
get this free six track CD in a card sleeve which opens at the top (the European
version opens at the side). Thanks to
Lee Griffin for news that this CD is also available at Borders in the USA, with
selected Dylan purchases such as "The Bob Dylan Scrapbook", the paperback
edition of "Chronicles Vol. 1",
The Bootleg Series Vol. 7: No Direction Home, and several other
remastered Dylan CDs. Thanks to Hans Seegers for information that this CD was
included as a bonus disc in a limited edition "long box" edition of The Best
Of Bob Dylan (US release).
A similar offer is available in Japan in exchange for five tokens, one from each of the following albums:
The second and third albums are of course the 2005 remasters, released in Japan in paper sleeves, as are the two Greatest Hits albums (I've now bought the last four in paper sleeves from Japan and shall be adding them to the International Albums (Regular) section ASAP.) The Japanese release came with a promo letter and a folder insert in Japanese.

This album uses a pastiche of the cover of the cancelled US Columbia Bob Dylan In Concert album, including the "STEREO"/arrows logo, see 1964. Thanks to Bob Stacy for pointing out that this is a slightly different photograph from the one due to be used in 1964, although both were taken by Don Hunstein in the same sequence. Thanks to Jean-Pierre Mercier and Franck Faugere for details of the European release, Columbia SAMPCM 15009 2. This was initially available only in France, at stores like Virgin with purchases of No Direction Home: The Soundtrack - The Bootleg Series Vol. 7, but Tim Hayter tells me it is now available at Virgin stores in the UK with any two Dylan CDs. All tracks were recorded live at Carnegie Hall, New York, 26 Oct 1963. R-0709 The Times They Are
A-Changin' R-0710 Ballad Of Hollis

previously unreleased, plus five other Dylan tracks.

Thanks to Jean-Pol Hiernaux for pointing out that the version of Long Distance Operator (4:32) is listed as previously unreleased and recorded at Goldstar Studios, Los Angeles, CA, 21 Feb 1968. The so-called Basement Tapes version is 3:40, but the new performance is in fact the same recording with an edited verse restored. (It is actually well known that not all the Band tracks included on The Basement Tapes album were the versions that were actually recorded there!) CD5: R-0651 Highway 61 Revisited This CD also contains Forever Young (slow version) from Planet Waves; Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, live from The Forum, Inglewood, CA, 13 Feb 1974, from Before The Flood. |

R-0649 Tell Ol' Bill
Thanks to Tim Dunn and Michael Mets for the information that the song is credited to "Bob Dylan" and is not the same as the traditional song, although we've never heard Bob's 1970 version. This track was one of the 42 rarities included for download with the Aug 2006 Apple iTunes Bob Dylan Collection, see Online Performances (Other). This was first reported as being the uncirculating out-take from Self Portrait recorded at Columbia Studios, New York, 4 Mar 1970. Clinton Heylin lists it as "Tell Old Bill", while Michael Krogsgaard lists it as "This Evening So Soon" as written on the studio session recording sheet. However, it is in fact a new recording, made earlier this year with musicians including Elana Fremerman on violin. The album also includes Lay, Lady, Lay from Nashville Skyline, Do Right To Me Baby (Do Unto Others) from Slow Train Coming, and Sweetheart Like You from Infidels. There are also covers of Girl From The North Country by Leo Kottke and Paths Of Victory by Cat Power. Paul S. Levine thinks that Lay, Lady, Lay and Sweetheart Like You are remixes, but my ears can't hear any significant differences from the tracks released in the 2003 series of hybrid SACDs. There is a pale blue information sticker with white text on the outside of the jewel case. The front insert is a single sheet with three folds. The CD tray is clear to show the picture on the reverse of the rear insert. Thanks to David Plentus, Ole Lien, Gino Galvez and Gil Walker for information about this release. |
