R-0531 Telephone conversations with A.J. Weberman, New York, 6 & 9 Jan 1971

This album was quickly withdrawn after legal action from Bob! It had an 8-page booklet giving the background to the phone calls.

Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. Thanks to Tony Cox for information that a copy for sale on eBay has blue labels. However, Hans Seegers is of the opinion that only copies with black labels as shown are genuine - this album was on the market for too short a time to have had a second release.

For a 2004 UK reissue of this material, see below.

From the eBay description provided by the seller: "For a few years in the 70's and early 80's, Al Kooper put out an annual Christmas album filled with novelty and strange music and dialogue for his friends only. This one, the third, features a track with Bob Dylan in concert introducing Al's parents, Sam and Natalie, at a Meadowlands, NJ, concert from the stage. Here's what the notes say: "In 1981, I toured for three months with BD and my parents came to see us play in New Jersey. I mentioned to Bob that my folks were there before we went onstage, and this is what happened. Thanks Bob." Bob introduces them, goofs around telling the audience they are the parents of a friend, but he's not gonna tell the audience who. Then after a bit, he says "OK, I'll tell you". And introduces Al. No music, but a rare bit of Bob humour. There are also bits with Buddy Rich yelling at his band, a famous tape called "J & H" productions with an out of it promoter trying to get work from a record label, and other strange bits. With a great cover and Al's funny liner notes. Very very rare."

Bob is on the B-side - programme 646, which is actually a second re-release of program 509 (MA 1791 above). The A-side - programme 645 - is about the Rolling stones

• "Folksinger's Choice" WBAI radio broadcast with Cynthia Gooding, New York, Feb 1962 (broadcast 11 Mar 1962)
• Interview with Antoine de Caunes in France, 17 Jun 1984
• Interview with Klas Burling, Sweden, 29 Apr 1966 (also see 2000 below)

Gary Smith says "It's a little over 29 minutes long, the bulk it containing roughly 12 minutes of the interview portions only from the famed "Folksinger's Choice" WBAI radio broadcast with Cynthia Gooding, 1962, and an interview from 1984 which, as good as I can guess (there's no exact date given) is from 6/17, with Antoine De Caunes in France. The interviewer is most certainly French, and the interview is nearly 16 minutes in length. Also there's about a minute's worth of the interview with Klas Burling in Sweden, 4/29/66 and a couple of snippets from other periods, none of which I recognize nor have info on."

Thanks to Gary Smith for the loan of the CD.

Europe 1 AD 101 (France) - Side 1 scan by Hans Seegers (non-Dylan)

This CD version of the San Francisco interview is uninterrupted, unlike the item below, and therefore much more collectable.

Thanks to Jack from Canada for the scans.

Baktabak CBAK4107 (UK) - reverse of rear insert (under clear CD tray), scan by Jack from Canada

This version of the San Francisco interview is misdated 1966, and interspersed throughout with comments by "host" author Geoffrey Guiliano. The "Summer of Love" title refers to the summer of 1967 and has nothing to do with the contents of this disc.

LaserLight 12 830 (USA) - reverse of rear insert (under clear CD tray)

This is the version of the San Francisco interview interspersed throughout with comments by "host" author Geoffrey Guiliano as on the Summer Of Love CD above. The "Blood On The Tracks" title of this CD is again misleading and again has nothing to do with the contents of this disc. There is no front insert and the reverse of the rear insert under the clear CD tray is generic for the "Rock Report" series.
