Subject: Italian flood of Bangladesh Manchester Quest CD rehashes...
Date: 18 Nov 1993 13:36:14 -0600

EDLIS  has   had  some  trouble  documenting  the  flood  of
Bangladesh/Manchester/Quest  CDs   rehashing  the  same  old
material. If  anyone has  any of  these CDs  please  get  in
contact. Equally  if you see any corrections to the listings
below, please mention them... Or anything helpful that could
be added  to aid  people in  avoiding spending large sums on
pointless CDs...

Note the  tentative nature  of these listings, some are even
without matrix numbers.

A ridiculous  and incompetent  piece of  bootlegging,  aimed
only to  fool the unwary buyer. The producers may be morons,
but they  will not be poor morons, there are enough fools to
buy this  garbage. All  tracks are  simply lifted from other
CDs, and  placed in  the most preposterous order imaginable.
Cut back on the acid next time chaps...

CD 1:  "All songs  by Bob  Dylan. Recorded  live at  Madison
Square Garden,  New York,  1971 (1,2,5,8)  at  Royal  Albert
Hall, London  26.5.1966 (3,4,6,7,9)  and at  Quest TV Canada
1964 (10)"
CD  2:   "All  songs   by  Bob   Dylan  except  8  (McKinley
Morganfield) and  11 (Von  Schmidt). Recorded  live at Royal
Albert Hall,  London 26.5.1966  (1,2,11), at  Madison Square
Garden,  New  York  1971  (3),  at  Quest  TV  Canada,  1964
(4,5,6,7) and at Finyan Club Montreal, 2.7.1962 (8,9,10)

Bob Dylan: guitar, vocals, harmonica
London concert:  Robbie Robertson: guitar, Rick Danko: bass,
Garth  Hudson:  keyboards,  Richard  Manuel:  piano,  Mickey
Jones: drums
New York  concert: George  Harrison:  guitar,  vocals,  Leon
Russel: bass, vocals, Ringo Starr: percussions".

The CD  has a  fist with variable thumb position as a "Sound
quality guide for this CD". This one gets a "2-good".

The Bangladesh  Concert (1, 2, 5, 8, 13) is available on the
legitimate CD The Concert For Bangladesh (1971).

The eight  tracks of the Free Trade Hall, Manchester concert
(3-4, 6-7,  9, 11-12, 21) are available in sensible order on
the CD  Royal Albert  Hall 1966  [T-121] but  may have  been
lifted from  the copy of that CD called Like A Rolling Stone
[T-122]...

The Quest  Show (10,  14-17) is  ultimately lifted  from Dr.
Zimmerman's Original  Old Time  Hootenany  [T-107]  complete
with all  the listing  errors! The  physical source may well
have been Bob Dylan Live [T-151] which lifted its Quest Show
tracks from  Dr. Zimmerman's  Original  Old  Time  Hootenany
missing out  the same track as is missing here: A Hard Rains
A Gonna Fall [5].

A decent  copy of  the Finjan Club tape (18-20) is available
complete and  in  order  on  Live,  Finjan  Club,  Montreal,
Canada, July  2, 1962  [T-156]. The  source for these tracks
may ultimately have been Montreal 1962 New York 1961 [T-103]
because here too "Finjan" is misspelled "Finyan"!

TOWNSEND NUMBER: 273
PERFORMANCE: 7
SOUND: 4
RECOMMENDATION: 0  Cf T-121,  T-107, T-103, T-274, T-275, T-
276.
