R-0531 Telephone conversations with A.J. Weberman, New York, 6 & 9 Jan 1971 This album was quickly withdrawn after legal action from Bob!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 believes 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. |

Michel Pomarede has found a 1988 pirate copy of the Folkways album on eBay with information: "The folks that released this 1988 LP were responsible for some of then best looking and sounding bootlegs in the industry. They always did a fantastic job. They released mainly Beatles LP's on the NEMS Label, and Lennon LPs on the Bag Label, but were responsible for many more incredible pieces. Their most famous Dylan release is Ten Of Swords. The label name changed with every artist, and would always be a name associated with that artist. The sleeve and record labels of this title state the record company to be 'Broadside Records' (the label that originally released it)."

"Bob Dylan,

Express". Although released in Austria only, it was actually made in
Holland.

R-0356 Fragments of songs (not cited separately) from the officially released versions of Main Title Theme and Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door (from Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid), Blowin’ In The Wind (from The Concert For Bangladesh), Hurricane (from Desire), and an interview segment from December 1980
Alan Hoaksey says
the interview is actually two very brief segments from the Paul Vincent
radio programme. The information printed on the disc is incorrect in
two respects:
1) The interview
was broadcast live on 18 Nov 1980, not December as stated.
2) The two
interview snippets are actually between tracks 2 and 3 and between
tracks 3 and 4, not as track 5 at the end.
Also, it would be
more accurate to say that the interview segments are talked over at the
end rather than overdubbed. The German narration is not a translation
or even a summary of the interview.

R-0155 Interview with Dave Herman, White House Hotel, London, 2nd
July, 1981, Bob strums guitar throughout Broadcast on Radio WNEW-FM, New York, on 27th July, 1981. The LP also includes three sample songs from Shot Of Love: the title track, Heart Of Mine, and Every Grain Of Sand. One of these was originally reported to me as an exclusive live version from Earls Court, London, where Bob played from 26 Jun 1981 to 1 Jul 1981, but sadly this is not so. The album was released in two variants, one with Side 2 as 22:35 and the other with the timing as 22:59 - Hans Seegers informs me the second variant does actually have 24 seconds more of the interview! |

According to the UK "Record Collector" magazine, counterfeit copies exist of this album, and can be identified because the matrix numbers on the record centre are handwritten. However, my copy was bought from a reputable source and has handwritten matrix numbers: Side 1 - XSM-168271 1D F4, Side 2 - XSM-168272 1E F5. Both sides also have "MASTERED BY CAPITOL" stamped in the vinyl.

R-0487 Bob introduces Al Kooper's parents from the stage at the
Meadowlands Arena, East Rutherford, NY, 27 Oct 1981 (during In The Garden) Thanks to Keith Venturoni for information about this item. 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." eBay trader "Nethollywood" has this for sale/auction, for more details see

Thanks to Manfred Helfert for this transcript and information: "Well, I'd never heard those kind of songs before. I'd heard them on record but I hadn't heard them close up. All the legendary people they used to sing about -- Brennan on the Moor or Roddy McCorley -- I wasn't aware of them when they existed... but it was as if they'd just existed yesterday." The documentary ends with The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem singing "The Parting Glass", which inspired Bob's Restless Farewell from The Times They Are A-Changin'. |

Before the song Bob says: "Woody was like a particular sound and besides that he said something that seemed to be needed to be said, to go along with his sound. I like the way he played to say and I like the things that he said when he sang". Over the complete version of the song, Bob says: "I started singing his songs. There was a time I did nothing but his songs. He's written so many and I knew them all! I think I was a Woody Guthrie jukebox! I was completely taken over by him. By the spirit or whatever. I mean, he had so much to give, you know. He was like a link in the chain for me. You could listen to his songs and actually learn how to live. I think he did a whole lot more then he ever knew he did" (Thanks to Hans Seegers for transcript.) Thanks to Ole Lien, Hans Seegers and Jack from Canada for information and scans. |

The first of these radio station discs has a cue sheet dated 27 Jun 1994, and the broadcast dates on the other sheets and all three CDs are for July 1994, so these programmes were aired before the 1994 Woodstock Festival took place. This explains why they contain excerpts of Dylan album tracks and previous interviews. CDs 1, 5 and 6 had no Dylan content.
CD2 (week of 10 Jul 1994) includes excerpts of Like A Rolling Stone from Highway 61 Revisited and Positively 4th Street from Greatest Hits. It also includes an interview with Bob about performing on stage.
CD3 (week of 17 Jul 1994) includes excerpts of I Want You from Blonde on Blonde and Positively 4th Street from Greatest Hits. It also includes an Interview with Bob.
CD4 (week of 24 Jul 1994) includes excerpts of I Want You and Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 from Blonde on Blonde. This disc does not include an interview with Bob, but does include interviews with Steve Cropper and George Harrison talking about Bob.
I have not allocated R-numbers to these excerpts.

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 Peter Gilmer for information about this item, who says: "This double CD is from Random House Audio, RHCD 432. Once again, it's a less than exciting Geoffrey Giuliano piece. It includes lengthy excerpts from the San Francisco 1965 press conference (of course) and, I think, the Los Angeles press conference from the same year (I'll check that soon) and the Rome 2001 press interview. There's also a large chunk of the Klas Burling interview from Sweden, 1966 and a short extract from Dylan's Grammy acceptance speech where he talked about seeing Buddy Holly in the Duluth Armory. Also, it contains two very short excerpts from very early interviews that I'm not familiar with at the moment. I'll track them down, hopefully. The back of the CD includes the following sentence: "He has toured the country as a member of The Travelling Wilburys, joining with rock icons Tom Petty, George Harrison and Roy Orbison." I must've missed that!" |

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! |

Tim Dunn's copy cuts off during R-0908, so I missed R-0922 off this original listing, which is why it has a later R-number. 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.
Thanks to Tim Dunn for information and to Larry Crum and Jack from Canada for further information and scan.

 Picture from Library of Congress web-site |
Thanks to Derek Mankelow for information that these recordings by Joe Smith, a former executive with Capitol Records, are now available on the US Library of Congress web-site. There are two excerpts from an interview with Bob, one in which he talks about Little Richard and folk music, and the other in which he talks about the 1960s and plays down its importance. As these recordings are not available for purchase I haven't allocated R-numbers. The recordings comprise 238 hours of interviews with 225 artists, and transcripts of some including the Dylan interview were published in Joe's 1988 book "Off the Record", published by Warner Books. |
