"Bob Dylan at WBAI" - CD-R and cassette releases, Pacifica Radio Archives IZ 1156 (USA), Mar 2011:
 Pacifica Radio Archives IZ 1156 (USA) - CD-R scan by Larry Crum |
Undated WBAI performances of I'm Goin' Down To New Orleans; Corrina, Corrina; The Death Of Emmett Till; Lonesome Whistle Blues; Farewell; If Not For You; You Ain't Goin' Nowhere; New Morning; I'll Keep It With Mine and Talkin' John Birch Society Blues. Tim Dunn says: "This is not Dylan performing these songs live at WBAI as implied, but studio tracks, in some cases official cuts. The source of each track sounds to be from a vinyl LP. Despite having nine songs the CD indicates five tracks. New Morning is not on my CD or cassette. The track order also is incorrect and some song titles wrong. My CD and cassette, with sources:" |

"Bob Dylan And Cynthia Gooding" - CD-R and cassette releases: Pacifica Radio Archives IZ 1211 (USA), Mar 2011; "Folksinger's Choice With Cynthia Gooding" - 2CD set: Pacifica Radio Archives IZ 1256 (USA), 2011
 Pacifica Radio Archives IZ 1211 (USA) - CD-R scan by Larry Crum |
This release features a live radio
broadcast with 11 songs, two
of them newly-written Dylan originals, performed by Bob during an interview with
Cynthia Gooding for the "Folksinger's Choice" WBAI radio programme,
recorded 13 Jan 1962, in New York City, broadcast 11 Mar 1962. (These dates are
speculative, some say the programme was never actually broadcast.) The interview is notorious for the outrageous lies Bob tells to the admiring Cynthia about his early life! |

Larry Crum had a similar copy, but emailed Pacifica and they sent a replacement with the full interview. The 2010 Left Field Media UK release has the interview in full, see Questionable Releases.
The 2CD set IZ 1256 contains the same material as IZ 1211, split over two discs: CD1 - 30:04, CD2 - 26:02. The CDs come in white paper sleeves.

"Joan Baez Concert" - 12" acetate LP, Riverside Records (no catalogue number) (USA), recorded 1963, surfaced May 2011:
 Side 1 (includes R-0891 and R-0892), photo from eBay |
This acetate LP contains live recordings of Bob in concert with Joan Baez, most probably from Forest Hills, New York, 17 Aug 1963. It comes in a buff Soundcraft generic sleeve with white labels with typewritten text. The recording belonged to a former engineer at Riverside Records, a New York-based label specialising in jazz, which operated between 1953 and the end of 1963. Soundcraft was a well-known acetate manufacturer of the time, and many circulating acetates are of jazz recordings. Side 1 has the two solo Dylan recordings listed below. Side 2 contains several Joan Baez songs plus an interview with her, but no Dylan. |

R-0891 Only A Pawn In Their Game - live at Joan Baez concert, Forest Hills, New York, 17 Aug 1963
R-0892 A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall - live at Joan Baez
concert, Forest Hills, New York, 17 Aug 1963
This song also has a spoken introduction.
All the tracks on this acetate are not yet known, but Side 1 also has Joan singing All My Trials and We Shall Overcome. Two Dylan-Baez duets from this concert, Troubled and I Don't Know Why (R-0219) and Blowin' In The Wind (R-0377), can be found on a Vanguard acetate of the time (see 1964). R-0219 was released officially on the Joan Baez Vanguard boxed set Rare, Live & Classic, (see 1994). The performance is also included on the CD Songs From Sing Out! which accompanies Vol. 45 #3 (Fall 2001) issue of "Sing Out!" magazine (see 2001).
Thanks to Harold Lepidus for finding this on eBay.

The Japanese booklet has a translation of Michael McCall's liner notes and "The story of this project back to 1967", both by Heckel Sugano, plus commentaries on Hank Williams, the twelve songs on the album and a list of Hank songs covered by Bob by Katsu Suzuki, Sep 2011. Wil Gielen has a promo CD-R of this release, which came in a single CD jewel case without inserts accompanied by a double-sided press sheet, and issued to music magazines and journalists well before the official release date. The twelve CD-R tracks (same as the commercial release) are numbered to 10 correctly and then numbered 12 and 13! He also has a promo copy, which is the commercial release with a numbered promo sticker on the rear insert and text "SAMPLE LOANED" printed on the centre of the CD itself.

R-0897
Don't Ever Take Yourself Away
This song was used in Episode 15, Season 2: “Mai Ka Wa Kahiko [Out of the Past]”. For the Season 2 DVD release, see VHS & DVD 2010-19. This song was released in 2021 on the 2CD Standard Edition of The Bootleg Series Vol. 16 - Springtime In New York 1980-1985, but as the original outtake without the steel drum intro. Therefore R-0897 remains a rarity. The front insert is a single three fold sheet. Although the jewel case has a clear CD tray, the reverse of the rear inset is plain black. This release is on CBS Records rather than Columbia because the source is a CBS TV series. For an NCIS CBS TV series soundtrack with another Dylan rarity, see 2009. |

This unique compilation and highly recommended CD, compiled by site contributor Dr. Hanns Peter Bushoff of Sony Music Germany and released only in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, includes 17 "fan favourites and rarities from five decades". The front sticker also says "Recommended by 'Rolling Stone'". As well as several tracks not usually included on compilations, the songs from 1962 to 2008 include three listed rarities. The album comes in a two-fold digipak with an eight page booklet.
R-0150-2 Trouble In Mind
- Slow Train Coming out-take, full version (5:11)
Previously appeared
(if at all) only as the B-side of 1979 Brazilian CBS 7" stereo single - it is reported that
this release had the full song while other worldwide releases had a verse
missing (R-0149, 4:17). For both R-0150 and R-0149, see
1979. Pure Dylan does have the full
version! This song was released in slightly edited form (4:50) on Disc 3 of the
8CD+DVD set
The Bootleg Series Vol. 13 - Trouble No More 1979-1981 (Deluxe
Edition), 3 Nov 2017, so R-0150 remains a rarity.
R-0072 Spanish Is The
Loving Tongue (Charles Badger
Clark-Billy Simon)
- solo version authorised by Bob, B-side of Watching
The River Flow Columbia/CBS 7" mono and stereo singles, see
1971.
This performance also appeared on the Japanese promo LP Mr. D's Collection #1 (see
1974) and the
Japanese and Australian 3LP set Masterpieces, see
1978. The
versions on the mono and stereo singles, the stereo promo LP and the stereo 3LP set are all in mono, which means this is actually the first occurrence of R-0072 (stereo)
all other entries are R-0072M (mono).
This take is different from the take released in 2013 on The
Bootleg Series, Vol. 10 - Another Self Portrait (1969-1971), so R-0072
remains a rarity!
Another performance unauthorised by Bob of the song with band and backing singers appeared on the
Columbia album Dylan, see 1973. An
unexpected 1974 version appeared on Disc 3 of the 6CD set
The Bootleg Series Vol. 14 - More Blood, More
Tracks" (Deluxe Edition), 2 Nov 2018.
