This is not "The Basement Tapes" but it does contain some material from the 
Basement Tapes.  Most of what is on these discs is much earlier.  I have 
misplaced my Dylan bootleg discography so I can't provide full details. 
There are several books with the relevant information.

Indeed, "Great White Wonder" was the defining LP "bootleg" of rock
music, and the
Dylan Columbia album "The Basement Tapes" was intended as a measure to
thwart its
tremendous popularity. "The Basement Tapes" and later CD issues, AFAIK,
eventually
reclaimed for legal release everything that appeared on GWW (yes - it is
already
initialized in the literature) and more. One of the most famous of all
bootleg LPs.

Paul,

this is the "basement tape" material, recorded in Woodstock, NY. in
1967, with the Band.

And maybe it's something else.  The above title is associated with
bootleg Bob Dylan material issued in 1969.  A friend has given me two
LPs in plain white cardboard sleeves with information not matching the
titles of the tracks on the GWW LPs.  Description:

Labels have no track information.  It appears on the cardboard covers.
.

(1)  One side of the cover has "Great White Wonder" written in ball
point pen.  Labels are white and have "side one" and "side two" and
"Great White Wonder" written in ball point pen.  No matrix information.
The cardboard cover shows the following titles: side one: I Shall Be
Released --- Learned From Jim --- Waters of Oblivion --- Nothing Was
Delivered --- Tears of Rage --- Since You've Been Gone.  Side two:  Baby
Please Don't Go --- Fare Thee Well --- See That My Grave is Kept Clean
--- East Orange New Jersey --- Man of Constant Sorrow.


(2) Great White Wonder stamped in pink (or red) on the cardboard cover
on one side.  The other side has "Super Honky"  written in ink.  Track
list is written in ink, as follows.  The titles are given as on side 3
and 4.  Labels are orange and have "Great White Wonder" written in ball
point pen.  There are no matrix numbers.  Side 3:  New Orleans --- Stay
All Night --- Only a Hobo --- Temperature Rising Subterranean Boozah
Blues --- The Mighty Quinn --- If Your Memory Serves You Well.
Side 4: Candy Man --- Rambling Around Boys --- Verbal Message + Jesekiah
Jones === I Ain't Got No Home in the World --- Verbal Message + Southern
Massacre Blues --- Poor Lazarus.

What have I here?  Suggestions?
