NOTES: GWA: “This EP is NOT a TAKRL release. The people responsible for the EP used the logo & type of design.
This EP has the same source (West Coast) as “SNACK”, “Hold The Fort For What It’s Worth”. This EP offers a combination
of very short pieces of Mary Travers Interview with Dylan (10 March ‘75) about the release of The Basement Tapes... Duets with
Joan Baez on *. Very Poor quality! Last track is the already mentioned “Help!”. (see “Help” double and single albums).”
Nhar: “... highly collectable for many years, still remains so for its unique inclusion of the Mary Travers interview snippets.
For better, much fuller, presentation of the 31 Oct ‘64 tracks see the “All Hallow’s Eve” albums.”
