 Vanguard VSD 79144 (USA stereo) - front scan by Manuel García Jara (see below) |
The Vanguard stereo albums VSD 79144 to
VSD 79149 include all the officially released material from the Newport Folk
Festival, 1963. The equivalent mono releases are Vanguard VRS 9144 to VRS
9149. These titles are: VSD 79144: Newport Broadside: Topical Songs At The Newport Folk Festival 1963 (includes Bob) VSD 79145: Blues At Newport: Recorded Live At The Newport Folk Festival 1963 (no Dylan) VSD 79146: Country Music And Bluegrass At Newport: Recorded Live At The Newport Folk Festival 1963 (no Dylan) VSD 79147: Old Time Music At Newport: Recorded Live At The Newport Folk Festival 1963 (no Dylan) |

VSD 79149: The Newport Folk Festival - 1963: The Evening Concerts Vol. 2 (may include Dylan)
I have been told there was also an album entitled The Newport Folk Festival - 1963: The Evening Concerts Vol. 3 that did not include Dylan, but there is no evidence of its existence, and no possible catalogue number because the next consecutive Vanguard releases are:
VSD 79150: Mike Seeger [Mike Seeger] (no Dylan)
VSD 79151: Jack Elliott [Ramblin' Jack Elliott] (includes a Dylan contribution, see 1964)
Thanks to Manuel García Jara, Kenneth Robson and Hans Seegers for information and scans. Thanks to Harold Lepidus and Tim Dunn for information that four reel-to-reel tapes of the Newport Folk Festival 1963 including Bob and Joan Baez were being auctioned on eBay in Aug 2006. The Dylan performances available on Vanguard for this festival are Blowin' In The Wind, Ye Playboys And Playgirls (duet with Pete Seeger) and With God On Our Side (duet with Joan Baez). Also released on Vanguard are We Shall Overcome and This Land Is Your Land (ensemble performances on which Bob may be present). These tapes may contain other Dylan performances - more information required.

 Dot Records VDEP 34012 (France, 1965) - front of 7" mono EP, scan by Manuel García Jara |
Ye Playboys And Playgirls has always been
thought to have been recorded at the afternoon workshop on 27 Jul 1963, but
sources such as Glen Dundas and Derek Barker (in Appendix 1 to his 2008
Chrome Dreams book "The Songs He Didn't Write: Bob Dylan Under The
Influence") now think it took place on the following day. Lyrics on bobdylan.com
here. This song was recorded at the
Broadside offices in New York in Nov 1962, but this is the only known
public performance. The Broadside performance is still officially
unreleased, although it circulates amongst Dylan fans. Carolyn Hester recorded the song as Playboys And Playgirls for Dot Records in 1965 on her live album Carolyn Hester At Town Hall Two. Emily Lacy's 2011 US album on her own label, Bob Dylan Songs By Emily Lacy, also includes a live performance of Ye Playboys And Playgirls. |

R-0311M With God On Our Side
- with Joan Baez,
recorded during the morning workshop on 27 Jul 1963 (mono version)
With God On Our Side is now known not to be the performance from Joan's set at the evening concert on 28 Jul 1963 (R-0021), and also not the performance from the afternoon workshop on 26 Jul 1963 as originally stated here. The performance that I list as R-0021 was not actually released until 2005 - for video footage of this performance see both the 2005 US Columbia/Legacy DVD No Direction Home - Bob Dylan (see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 3) and the 2007 US Columbia/Legacy DVD The Other Side Of The Mirror: Bob Dylan Live At The Newport Folk Festival 1963-1965 (see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 4). The performance released in 1997 on the Joan Baez Live At Newport CD is from 1964 (R-0253, see 1997). Thanks to Larry Crum and Bob Stacy for information. For a Vanguard France test pressing containing R-0311M, see 1966.
Gerd Rundel's copy comes in a thick card original Vanguard sleeve with a generic Vanguard inner sleeve (same both sides). The record has stamped matrix numbers: Side 1 - R4RM-4169- - 1A, Side 2 - R4RM-4620-1.

All these records have on the front a distinctive circular sticker with a golden "sheriff star" on a black background. The rear sleeve has two folded-over flaps and a track list in English plus comments about each song in French (note the subtitle " enregistrés au Festival de Newport 1963": "recorded at Newport Festival 1963". This album includes a beautiful four-page catalogue of this collection: the front has notes written by the French folksinger Hugues Aufray (see Honourable Mentions); the rear has pictures of Ian and Sylvia and The Weavers; on the inside there are illustrations of albums from this collection, including Farewell Angelina by Joan Baez. The record labels are black with silver text.

The stereo versions of R-0020 and R-0311 also both appear on these other compilations: The Best Of The Newport Folk Festivals (1970), The Greatest Of Folk-Rock (1975), and The Natural Sound (1976).
R-0020 (stereo version) additionally appears on Folk Generation - The Vanguard History Of American Folk Music 1960/1978 (1993) and on Vanguard Sessions: Folk Duets CD (1998).
R-0311 (stereo version) additionally appears on the Joan Baez US radio station broadcast stereo vinyl LP The Robert W. Morgan Special of The Week Series III (1978) and in part on the 2007 US Columbia/Legacy DVD The Other Side Of The Mirror: Bob Dylan Live At The Newport Folk Festival 1963-1965, see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 4.
The first 1964 stereo release has the album title in orange and green on the front, the second 1960s release and the 1970s release have the title in orange and brown. The first 1960s record has 1960s black Vanguard "Stereolab" labels with silver text, the second 1960s record has new style yellow "Stereolab" labels with black text (this release is the rarest), and the 1970s record has gold "Stereo" labels with black text.

The sleeve is noticeable in that it has the front used since the 1968 reissue (with the title in orange and brown) but it has the rear of the original sleeve of 1964 (without the copyright text printed vertically). The sleeve comes in the original shrink-wrap with a sticker saying "FACTORY SEALED FOR YOUR PROTECTION". The record has the new "marble" design of labels, first used by Vanguard in 1974. Other contemporary Vanguard albums also have this same design of labels: the 1975 US reissue of the 1972 compilation Greatest American Folksingers of the Sixties (see 1972) or The Essential Ramblin' Jack Elliott (see 1976).

R-0022M Blowin' In The Wind
- performed live at the Newport Folk Festival,
Newport, RI, 26 Jul 1963 (mono version)
R-0023M We Shall
Overcome (Zilphia Horton/Frank Hamilton/Guy Carawan/Pete Seeger)
- Bob performs with the Freedom Singers and ensemble at the Newport Folk
Festival, Newport, RI, 26 Jul 1963 (mono
version)
Here this song's authorship is wrongly credited to the Freedom Singers - thanks to Alex Munro for
clarification: "Originally
a traditional song "I Will Overcome", picked up by
Seeger, passed to Hamilton and Carawan who somewhere along the line changed to
"We Shall", and introduced it into civil rights protests. Seeger
recognised power of change and adapted it. The Freedom Singers took it from
there, leading to the incredibly moving performance at Newport. Truly the Folk Process in action." The Freedom Singers were
Cordell Reagon, Bernice Johnson (later Bernice Johnson Reagon), Charles Neblett
and Rutha Mae Harris.
This album also includes Ramblin' Jack Elliott singing Diamond Joe, recorded by Bob on Good As I Been To You (1992) and Mississippi John Hurt singing Stagolee, recorded by Bob as Stack A Lee on World Gone Wrong (1993).

albums (Newport Broadside: Topical Songs At The Newport Folk
Festival 1963 above or
Greatest American Folksingers of the Sixties),
this record also was reissued in 1975 with this new "marble" design of labels.
Although records of Vanguard at this period had a lower catalogue number, this
one has again the original. The front sleeve
is identical to that of the original 1964 release, but rear sleeve is different
- see
the details at top right and bottom right. At top right "STEREOLAB" has been
replaced by "Recordings For The
Connoisseur" and the word "Stereo" has been added to catalogue number, not present on
the 1964 release because it was part of "STEREOLAB". At bottom right
"VANGUARD STEREOLAB" has been replaced by "VANGUARD QUALITY CONTROL"
and the company
name is now shown as "VANGUARD RECORDING SOCIETY INC." at bottom right. For the 1972 compilation Greatest American Folksingers Of The Sixties, see 1972. |

Bob may be included in
this performance. The sleeve notes say: "At
the 1963 Folk Festival, Pete Seeger called on to the stage all the festival
singers he could find, and led them in the singing of a song by another
great contributor to American folk music, Woodrow Wilson Guthrie. The song
was the inevitable one with which to conclude the Newport Folk Festival,
Woody's Guthrie's This Land Is My Land, known
to many as 'The American Folk National Anthem'." This was on 28 Jul
1963, and Bob had previously performed on stage that evening, with Joan
Baez on With God On Our Side (R-0021, see note below), so he may be
singing on this recording (he isn't one of the artists who sing a verse,
but he may be in the chorus).
In fact, R-0021, the evening performance from 28 Jul 1963, was not
actually released until 2005 on the No Direction Home - Bob Dylan
DVD, see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 3.
The performance from the Newport Broadside: Topical Songs At The
Newport Folk Festival 1963 album (see above) is
now known to be from the morning workshop on 27 Jul 1963, and has been
renumbered R-0311.
I've been told there was also an LP called The Newport Folk Festival - 1963: The Evening Concerts Vol. 3, but Bob is definitely not on it. However, I've not been able to locate it, and the next catalogue number Vanguard VSD-79150 was used for a Mike Seeger album. Only Vol. 1 is available today as a US Vanguard CD. I was told the stereo performance R-0607 is now available on the 2005 Columbia/Legacy compilation CD The Essential Pete Seeger, but the live performance on that CD is actually from New York, 28 Apr 1962, not the Newport Folk Festival, 1963.
Thanks to Hans Seegers, Harold Lepidus, Bob Stacy and Peter Stone Brown for information, to Tricia Jungwirth for finding the US stereo release, and to Hans Seegers for the US mono scan.

 Hed-Arzi/Vanguard AN 67-60 (Israel - mono) - front scan by Manuel García Jara |
This compilation was made by Hed-Arzi Ltd. in Israel for Vanguard Records. The sleeve was printed by United Artists Ltd., Israel. Although this album has the same front sleeve design as the well-known albums The Newport Folk Festival -1963. The Evening Concerts Vols. 1/2, it actually is exclusive to Israel, a unique album that includes all known Dylan performances at the Newport Folk Festival, 1963: With God On Our Side (with Joan Baez), Blowin' In The Wind and Ye Playboys And Playgirls together with This Land Is Your Land and We Shall Overcome as part of the ensemble. The album title on the front sleeve is The Newport Folk Festival - 1963. The Evening Concerts but Highlights From The Newport Folk Festival on the record labels. It has an exclusive tracklist taken from the albums Newport Broadside: Topical Songs At The Newport Folk Festival 1963 and from the two volumes of The Evening Concerts. The front sleeve has a different artist list matching the content. There are some mistakes on the rear sleeve and the record labels: With God On Our Side is just "God On Our Side", This Land Is Your Land is just "This Land", and Ian & Sylvia are listed as "Jan & Sylvia". The record has red labels, printed directly on to the centre of the vinyl, not made of paper. |

Various Artists - "Newport Folk Festival 1963" - three 7" mono EPs,
Fontana TFE 18009/10/11 (UK), 23 Apr 1965:
In the 1960s US Vanguard records were released in the UK on
the Fontana label (part of the Philips group, later PolyGram, now Universal). The songs below were
released on three EPs extracted from the Vanguard LPs above: Ye Playboys And
Playgirls, With God On Our Side and Blowin' In The Wind.
However, the three EPs were quickly withdrawn from sale because of legal problems with
CBS Records (the then trading name of Columbia in the UK) who had licensed Bob's
appearances on the LPs only. They now command high prices and I was very
short-sighted to buy only TFE 18011 at the time!

R-0311M-3 With God On Our Side
- with Joan Baez (TFE18009), recorded at the
morning workshop, Newport Folk Festival, Newport, RI, 27 Jul 1963, from
Newport Broadside: Topical Songs At The Newport Folk Festival 1963, see
above (mono version)
R-0022M-3 Blowin' In The Wind (TFE18010) recorded live at the Newport Folk Festival,
Newport, RI, 26 Jul 1963, from The Newport Folk Festival

R-0020M-3 Ye Playboys
And Playgirls - with Pete Seeger (TFE18011), recorded at the
"Topical Songs" workshop, Newport Folk Festival, Newport, RI, 28 Jul 1963, from
Newport Broadside: Topical Songs At The Newport Folk Festival 1963, see
above (mono version)
This song has always been thought to have been recorded at the
afternoon workshop on 27 Jul 1963, but sources such as Glen Dundas and
Derek Barker (in Appendix 1 to his 2008 Chrome Dreams book "The Songs He
Didn't Write: Bob Dylan Under The Influence") now think it took place on
the following day. Lyrics on bobdylan.com
here.
R-0607M-3 This Land Is Your Land [incorrectly titled This Land Is My Land] (Woody Guthrie) - live with Pete Seeger and ensemble (TFE18011), Newport Folk Festival, Newport, RI, 28 Jul 1963, from The Newport Folk Festival - 1963: The Evening Concerts Vol. 2, see above (mono version)
The copies shown of these three EPs have stamped matrix numbers:
TFE 18009: A-side - TFE18009 1E//1 V 420 11 1 ("V" is an upside down triangle), B-side - TFE18009 2E//1 V 420 11 1
TFE 18010: A-side - TFE18010 1E//1 V 420 11 6, B-side - TFE18010 2E//1 V 420 11 4 (John Richardson says his copy has the same numbers but ending in "5" and "3")
TFE 18011: A-side - TFE18011 1E//1 V 42011 4, B-side - TFE18011 2E//1 V 42011 2
I also have heard of a UK 3LP set called Newport Folk Festival, Fontana TLF 6038/6041/6042 which contains these four songs - more information and scans required! This name and content appear again in the early 1990s as the name of a Vanguard CD compilation, again more details required!
Thanks to Ian Woodward, Bob Stacy, Sam C. Visser, David Burgess, Norman Barrett, Kenneth Robson and Gerd Rundel for information and scans.
"With God On Our Side, Parts 1 & 2" - 7" (promo?) single, Columbia or Vanguard (catalogue number?) (USA), 1964:
|
|
This could be a split version of R-0311M (see above). I previously listed this just as R-0039, but to achieve consistency in the list I have now allocated a separate R-number to Part 2. I assume this is mono. R-0039 With God On Our Side - Part 1: A-side (time?) R-0594 With God On Our Side - Part 2: B-side (time?) |
Fontana TFE 18009 (UK) - front scan by Norman Barrett (includes R-0311M) |
 Fontana TFE.18012 (UK) - 7" EP front scan by Manuel García Jara (Joan Baez only) |
This seems to be a different split of the song (approx. 50-50) from that of the French Dylan-only CBS EP with R-0048/R-0595 (see 1966). Conflicting information is that this is a Vanguard single with a cover version by Joan Baez only! More information required. Shown is one of the Joan Baez 1965 Vanguard EPs with her cover version - see Honourable Mentions - Covers (Women Sing Dylan).
Ger Hemel says he saw a Joan Baez single containing With God On Our Side split over both sides in Breda in Holland in 1971, but unfortunately did not buy it then, and has not found a copy since.
