Matrix Note:
TMQ-2 released this LP several times from the same, original master
plates. On each successive release, there is a minor matrix alteration
from that of the previous run. These include scratched out and lined
out
past matrices in several different combinations. There are at least
five
separate runs identifiable by which matrix is scratched out and how.
The
differences are purely academic.

1974 saw the beginning of the TMQ-2
releases, and this was among them. There were several package
variations.
Originally they used remaining TMQ presses
'till they
ran out. The original full TMQ-2 release
included
an all new insert with a 1974 photo, and black
vinyl
with the new 'Pig Daddy' label that has come to be known as
'Smokin'
Pig'. With each successive run, some minor alteration was made in the
matrix.
As future runs were pressed and released, The insert was xeroxed from
a previous insert and the insert quality deteriorated. The labels of
subsequent
releases were blank blue, and later blank white.

There has always been confusion as to the source tape for the fourteen
tracks on this LP. According to the LP
notes the tracks are a mixture of songs from the Minnesota tape, studio
outtakes, and Witmark demos.
While 'Naomi wise' is certainly from the 12-22-61
Minneapolis tape, all of the other tracks are from the Freewheelin'
recording
sessions that ran through the second half of 1962.
