Notes

Cynthia Gooding Radio Show, NY March 11, 1962

This is a true not-to-be-missed gem. It belongs in every Bob Dylan fan's collection. The date shown is from the back cover, though this is most likely a re-broadcast date. The actual radio show could have been as early as February. History is a bit fuzzy here. This long lost radio show is in perfect quality. It is complete with wonderful live-on-the-spot renditions of the above traditional and Dylan songs, as well as fascinating conversation with a young, as yet undiscovered talent. Bob relates, hilariously, the eponymous title of his soon to be released first LP, and so much more. There is conversation in-between each song that is priceless. All in all, one of the best boots ever to emerge.
