Hello all,

On my CD copy of _Self_Portrait_, the title to 11th song is written
"Living Fhe Blues". It's hard to notice because in the fancy writing the
Ts and Fs look very similar, but it's definitely misstyped, everywhere it
is printed in the fancy script.

I just thought I'd point that out, if it hasn't been noticed before. If
they correct it, your erroneous copies may be valuable. OK, probably not.

Josh.

Well that just made me go get the copy I bought 27 years and Goddamn, it
is Living Fhe Blues. You can almost see how the proofreader missed it.
Wonder if Columbia will do a recall.

Nothing wrong with that. It's a wonderful album. I don't care if even Bob
himself dismisses it (he HAS been known to talk through his hat from time to
time, after all).

The same typo occurs on the CD, presumably photo-copied from the original
album. (This is to confess that I have both. Self-Portrait makes a
wonderful CD: all one disc instead of four sides, and you can program it
any way you want.)

It helps that there is a Robert Johnson blues tune on there, doesn't
it?

Not sure, but are the two choices you suggest really mutually exclusive?

Block That Metaphor Department!

Let's come clean: how many of us can even imagine what it means to
use programming buttons on a curate's egg?

OK, seems that we all have fhe blues. But what do you think of this: My


copy of self portrait (on CD) has the musicians credits printed all over
the cover with the clown's face. One color (grey) of the clown's face is
instead of that printed on the third page of the "booklet". Do I now own
a collector's item or just a piece of crap?

So you think I own a collectible piece of crap? Should I offer it to
Weberman?

Self Portrait makes so much more sense from this perspective than it
could have when it was released... I think we all have a better idea
of Bob's roots now and are less likely to put him in a narrow box
than everyone did at the time.
