Information:
This title presented the Basement Tapes to Europe, as Waters
of Oblivion did to USA. It is the same quality as that earlier title,
but there are a couple of differences. It doesn't include "Too much
of nothing", and uses take 1 instead of take 2 of "Tears of
rage". This is the take that would eventually find its way to the official
CBS
LP release. The LP title would
later be used for a series of Italian releases on the Joker Label, but
there is no connection what-so-ever.

In 1972, Hobo Records released their own version
of this LP. The track listing and quality is the same,
but it has been repressed from unique plates. The cover is white with a
large eye printed in green or grey. The labels are black on silver full
printed HOBO. The matrix is machine stamped.

This 1971 Dutch piece was originally released by Peace Records in the
cover shown above (gwa 8Aa). The cover is
very thin with the title in large black stencil type letters that cover
the entire front. The label is full printed with "Peace Records" at the
top, and "The Basement Singers Sing Bob Dylan". It was also issued with
an "Empire" label instead of "Peace". The rest of the package remained
the same. A second issue was released with the same LP in a completely
different cover. (gwa 8Ab) The cover is a
laminated light grey. The title is smaller, and fits in the bottom quarter
of the front. Still in stencil letters, the title was first in silver,
then reissued in black print. The back cover is full printed with the track
listing.

Rover records (Same folks
as Peace) released the gatefold cartoon version ( gwa
8Ac ) in 1972. Taking inspiration from the R.Crumb album cover for
Big Brother's Cheap Thrills album,
this incredible cover featured a different, beautifully drawn cartoon ala
Crumb for each song title on the album. It was printed in black and red
on a white cover. The vinyl was pressed from the same master plates as
the original. The labels are black on red cartoon Rover Records labels.
