This promo stereo 2LP set with a 28-page illustrated book was distributed to attendees at the Columbia Records National Convention held in San Juan, Puerto Rico, 24 Jul 1968 - a "Lavish Celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the LP". The records come in white paper inner sleeves. The programme is narrated by Walter Cronkite and includes excerpts from The Times They Are A-Changin' and Like A Rolling Stone, as well as audio of Bob talking to a reporter from "Time" magazine from Don't Look Back, see VHS & DVD 1960s. The sides are ordered for auto-change record players, so that Record 1 (ANS 201) has "Side 1" and "Side 4" and Record 2 (ANS 202) has "Side 2" and "Side 3". For I Can Hear It Now: The Sixties, also narrated by Walter Cronkite, see 1970.
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)."
Thanks to Alan Hoaksey for information that the Dylan interview used here is not the San Francisco 1965 interview as originally thought, but the "religious" interview with Pat Crosby recorded in Pittsburgh, PA, for KDKA-TV, 15 May 1980 and broadcast the same day. More excerpts from this interview (Bob's responses only) can be seen in the 2006 unauthorised Highway 61 Entertainment/MVD USA video Bob Dylan 1975-1981: Rolling Thunder and The Gospel Years, see Honourable Mentions - Video.
Broadcast on Radio WNEW-FM, New York, on 27th July, 1981. The LP also includes threesample 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, whereBob played from 26 Jun 1981 to 1 Jul 1981, but sadly this isnot so.
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, thethird, features a track with Bob Dylan in concert introducing Al's parents, Samand 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. Veryvery rare."

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."
Information and scans from Manfred Helfert. Thanks to Paul Read for information about the picture disc and David O'Brien for scans. Claire Simmons has a copy of the picture disc entitled "Sydney Press Conference" with the 10 Apr 1986 conference on Side 1, running time listed as 18:30. The Hearts Of Fire conference is on Side 2.
There is also a clip from an interview, where Bob says: "The record business has changed because see when I went in in a what they call I guess what they call the early days it was in the sixties really. Everybody made records the same as I did no matter who, Beatles, Rolling Stones, The Animals, The Byrds and you were a group you were a somebody before you went in and made the record you were a somebody, now people don't want to pay dues no more."
Bob does not actually appear in the film performing this song, it plays over a series of stills in disc chapter 18 "Bob Dylan & Woody" as part of aninterview recorded for this project with Bob talking to Ralph Rinzler about Woody Guthrie.
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".
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.
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 Gary Smith for the loan of the CD.

This is the version of the San Francisco interview interspersed throughout with comments by "host" author Geoffrey Guiliano as on the Summer Of Love CD above. The "Blood On The Tracks" title of this CD is again misleading and again has nothing to do with the contents of this disc. There is no front insert and the reverse of the rear insert under the clear CD tray is generic for the "Rock Report" series.
"The Classic Interviews 1965-1966" - Chrome Dreams CIS 2004 (UK), Apr 2003:
This CD was released in association with the Dylan fan magazine "Isis" and has a 16 page booklet. The CD itself is designed to look like a tape spool, as is the reverse of the rear insert seen through the clear plastic tray.
"The Classic Interviews Vol. 2 - The Weberman Tapes" - Chrome Dreams CIS 2005 (UK), 26 Jan 2004:
This CD was again released in association with the Dylan fan magazine "Isis". It includes a 16-page booklet with a current article by A J Weberman, and a rare cover photo by Elliott Landy. The little girl with Bob is probably Maria, Sara Dylan's daughter by Hans Lownds. Bob's daughter Anna was several years younger.
The CD is a jewel case with a transparent tray, inside a slipcase with a booklet. The front and back covers of the slipcase and the booklet are the same as the front and rear inserts. For the original 1977 release of this material by Folkways, see above.Thanks to John Caruth for information about this item.2005
Alan Hoaksey finally managed to obtain a copy of the "New Yorker" from 4 Dec 2006. It includes a lengthy article about Bob Fass, which describes the show in broad terms. However, there's only a brief mention of Dylan, but not a single quote from Dylan is included. The 20 Jan 1966 show is no longer available to download. This interview was included in full on Pacifica Radio's 2CD-R set Bob Fass With Bob Dylan (see below and 2011) and an excerpt is included in the 2013 US DVD Radio Unnameable (see VHS & DVD 2010s).
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.
R-1912 Bob Dylan Writing Session - 15:40 recording of Bob and Gene in 1996 during the composition of Waiting For The Morning Light, a song not released by Bob himself. "The Bob Dylan Story At 70: Radio Interviews" - 5CD set, (record company?) (catalogue number?), 2018:
