Interesting to read that “Blood on the Tracks” is being studied in a number of schools.

Hi all- I’m the owner of this piece. I have since talked to John Tefteller about these discs. He believes they are bootlegs. Though he said he hadn’t seen these before.
Info: They aren’t acetates. They are what look like period vinyl pressings. Held it up next to a stock copy of another Columbia pressing and they’re identical. No trail-off etchings, though. Just a 3 digit stamp. The sound is not very good. A couple are obviously from an old tape. I agree that they are likely bootlegs. I never intended to represent this as an original, I was just curious to see what Mr. Hobo had to say. I’ve had them for years and I was just curious. Thanks everybody! -Chris

I agree with Jeff – the contradictions on that label are just too many. I have several examples of what I think are fakes with Columbia Studios Nashville labels on my web-site on the “Questionable” page.

I think this is bogus too; Hammond wasn’t producing Dylan at this time and Dylan decided what was released, not anyone else. “Vocalist showing some promise” ? C’mon. Looks like one of those Italian fake acetates to me.

This is a strange combination of songs. I would love to get a copy of this! I have much to trade. Please feel free to share my email with the owner. Thank you.

Love – zero and It’s All Over Now Baby Blue “too raw”? Looks like a bootleg with a fake columbia label to me. -DCB
