 Warner Bros WEP 6114 (UK) - front (my copy) |
This 7" mono EP contains the trio's cover of Blowin' In The Wind, which was released in the USA in 1962 before the song was released on The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. The success of this cover version contributed strongly to Bob's commercial breakthrough. Bob was present at these sessions (he's included in photos) and some say he may have played piano on the track, but this has never been substantiated. |

Bob Dylan/Chris Copping: "Last Thoughts On Woody Guthrie" - release format unknown, Mar 2001:

Martin Carthy - "The Carthy Chronicles" 4CD boxed set, Free Reed Records FRQCD-60 (UK), Apr 2001:
 Free Reed Records FRQCD-60 (UK) - picture from Free Reed Records web-site |
The Winter 2000 issue of Dylan fanzine "The Bridge" reported Bob would be heard playing harmonica on Martin Carthy's version of The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll, which now appears on the boxed set The Carthy Chronicles from Free Reed Records. I later heard from Neil Wayne of Free Reed Records that this would sadly not be the case (presumably they couldn't get permission to use the performance with Bob). However, the boxed set (pictured left from the Free Reed web-site) is still of great interest to Dylan fans. Martin Carthy championed the unknown Bob Dylan during his visit to England in late 1962/early 1963 and helped him to get him gigs at small folk clubs in the London area. The set booklet includes text about Bob and a photograph of Martin and Bob performing together at the Troubadour in London on 15 Jan 1963. And several of the songs will be familiar to Dylan fans...

 Columbia/Legacy AC2K 62153 (USA) - outside of digipak (my copy) |
Went To See The Gypsy  - alternate take to the version released
on New MorningThis take (now revealed to be Bobless!) is described by Al Kooper as "a conception I had for Dylan to sing over". Performers are Al Kooper (guitars/organ/vocals), P. P. Arnold (vocals), Tom Cosgrove (guitar), Stu Woods (bass) and Rick Marotta (drums). The only recording details given are "Columbia Studios, New York, 1970", but Michael Krogsgaard in his series of articles "Bob Dylan: The Recording Sessions" shows Cosgrove and Marotta present at the New Morning sessions only at an overdub session on 30 Jun 1970, so I assume this session is where this track comes from. This performance also appears on the French 2CD set Chroniques Volume 1, see 2005. |

This album recorded live at Arlene Grocery, New York, 2002, by

changes. Mary Lee invites a male audience member to join her in singing
Lily, Rosemary And The Jack Of Hearts, which he does extremely badly! Thanks to Liz Campanile for the promo copy, which comes in a white card sleeve. |
