Bob Dylan In Concert: Brandeis University 1963
|
|
This page is part of a list of original releases by release date of international commercially-released regular (normally) stereo Dylan albums. This album is actually in mono, but it's included here because it has been added to the bobdylan.com albums page! They do not contain rarities or obscurities and are not eligible for the Searching For A Gem list. Nevertheless, their interest value or scarcity means they're worth listing here - as far as I know some are not included on any other Internet site. Promo releases of regular albums are now listed here and no longer in the former yearly Promo sections. Although this album is available in mono only, it's included here because it's listed on the bobdylan.com albums page. |

If you have any entries to add to the list or additions/corrections to
existing entries, please let me know!
Please note I cannot value your Dylan rarities -
see the Mission page for reasons why. Contact the
dealers on my Trading page for assistance!

Thanks to Fred Muller for reminding me of the item in the "Isis" newsletter that Bob Dylan could headline an event called “50th Anniversary Bob Dylan Folk Festival”. Reported in “Brandeis Hoot” (Brandeis University’s Community Newspaper) the event, the brainchild of student organisers, would be held in the 2013 Spring semester to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Dylan’s concert there on 10 May 1963. However, the same student paper has now announced that Dylan’s booking price, nearly $300,000, would hamper the net finances of the university. It seems the event will still go ahead, but without Bob Dylan!

The USA vinyl release of the album comes in a clear plastic wallet with two stickers, one similar to the CD sticker. The notes by Michael Gray are included on the rear sleeve. There are two inserts, one with details of a free MP3 download (code deleted), the other advertising The Bootleg Series Vol. 9 - The Witmark Demos and The Original Mono Recordings.
The record has labels re-producing an "audiosonic" recording blank with matrix numbers: Side 1 - 88697847431-A (written), "STERLING" (stamped), Side 2 - 88697847431-B (written), "STERLING" (stamped). The US record labels have two horizontal lines separating the text, missing from the 2017 European labels below.
According to "Isis" newsletter 155½ this album has been released on mono vinyl in Europe as well as the USA after all. Columbia have licensed the recording to Dutch company Music On Vinyl, who produced European vinyl releases of the original mono recordings in 2010. The album is the same as the US release, with different stickers front and back. The copy shown is still sealed, so I don't have scans of the record labels.
Dag Braathen and Paul Shenton have found pirate copies with picture labels on white or blue vinyl. These are definitely not official Columbia releases and are now listed here with Questionable releases of official Dylan albums.
Thanks to Gerd Rundel and Paul Shenton for information and pictures.

This 7-track CD in a card sleeve was given away as a bonus disc with copies of The Bootleg Series Vol. 9 - The Witmark Demos and the 9CD set The Original Mono Recordings . All tracks were recorded live at the 1st Annual Folk Festival, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA, Friday 10 May 1963. The advance artwork showed a card sleeve with spine text, which is the US design - the European and Australian card sleeves have no spine text. It also omitted the text in red "1ST SET" and "2ND SET", which is present on all three commercial releases shown. The CD itself has the design of a 1960s "audiosonic" blank (equivalent to a CD-R today). The European release has "Made in the EU" on both the rear sleeve and the CD. The Australian release has "Distributed in Australia by Sony Music Entertainment Australia Pty. Ltd." on both the rear sleeve and the CD. The European and Australian releases have the Sony Music logo, omitted from the US release. Thanks to Derek Barker of "Isis" magazine for pointing out that Bob's set took place on Friday evening, 10 May 1963, not "SATURDAY EVENING" as on the back of the sleeve, and also that the ticket price on the Brandeis poster they published in "Isis" 152 was $4.00, not $4.40!
Thanks to "Isis" 152 for the
picture of the Brandeis
poster and the story of how this performance was discovered in the Ralph Gleason
archives by site contributor Jeff Gold, for more details see Jeff's blog here
.
Thanks to Steven Jump of Badlands and
Éamonn Ó Catháin
for the artwork, to Derek Barker of "Isis" and Arie de Reus for information and to
Moise Potié, Jeremy Mayle,
Stuart Moore and Bill Hester for scans.
