Re: [ARSCLIST] Dylan's "Great White Wonder" - query



Yes,and I believe my particular Trademark of Quality issue dates from 1970.This has an orange slipsheet,with four small photos of Dylan,and the TMOQ pig,at the center bottom.Two photos are labeled ''Greenwich Village,1962'',one labeled''Folklore Center,New York 1962'',and one just ''1963''.It has the large numeral labels,and is not a gatefold.

As Steven Abrams wrote, the original bootleg album called "A Great 
White Wonder" was a compilation of tracks from different periods in 
Dylan's career.  It had the first release of material from the 
Basement Tapes, though other bootlegs shortly after captured more of 
the tracks from those sessions.

The first issue of "A Great White Wonder" appeared in Summer 1969. It 
was a double fold-open album with glossy white paste-over cover, and 
no printing of any kind. The disc labels were off-white or cream, and 
had no information either.

The bootleg was itself quickly bootlegged, with the famous pink 
rubber stamp on the front, proclaiming "A Great White Wonder." The 
rubber stamp format was popular for a long time afterwards among 
bootlegs.

Regards,

Stephen
