This 1971 or '72 title from England is a very confusing piece. It is
actually the same LP as the USA title
GWWII with the addition of one song
... 'Suze'.
There are more questions about this piece than there are answers. The
manufacturer is not known. Obviously pressed from all new masters, it is
the same quality as GWWII, but most confusing, it has the same matrix.

Why the piece went by this new title is unclear, although most probably
to differentiate it from the American GWWII that was being imported
into the country. Why go to all the trouble for the addition of the little
instrumental ditty 'Suze' is another point to ponder.

Like its American counterpart, the double LP was issued in a blank
white gatefold cover. The labels are blank gold or blue.
This piece may also have been referred to as 'Stealin', although it
is not the same pressing as the European title that was released with a
small black title stamp on the front that read 'Stealin'. That was actually
GWWII

Being virtually the same LP as GWWII, the songs on this collection
are; of course, mostly from the previously released LPs 'Stealin'
and 'John Birch' along with seven Basement tape
tracks and 'Suze'. The LPs were not merely copied from those releases,
however, but from original, high quality tapes.... and are quite good quality.
To further confuse the issue, at about the same time CBM released
the two discs of the original GWWII as two separate albums with no titles.
They have come to be referred to as "gwa 16 & 17", "Stealin' &
John Birch", "CBM Bob Dylan LPs", and/or "Dylan
1 and Dylan 2".
As this JBS LP was erroneously thought to be a combination of those
two LPs, it also has gone by the title "Dylan 1 & 2". Other monikers
for this piece include "GWWII", "English GWWII", "Dylan", and "Dylan III"
