The Byrds – Hey Mr. Tambourine Man

The Byrds – Hey Mr. Tambourine Man

My LP = No label, no reference number (U.K. 197?)

Matrix:   EP 84  /  EP 85

Roger McGuinn, Clarence White, Gene Parsons, Skip Battin

The back cover wrongly credits John York as the bass player instead of Skip Battin.

Recorded during the May 1971 European tour

Amsterdam, The Netherlands, May 15, 1971

Notes:

“Jamaica” is mentioned as track #1 on side A label but it is not present on the A side.

Track A2 is simply titled “Black Mountain Rag” on the label (that’s how McGuinn announces it).

Track A5 is simply titled “Take A Whiff” on the label.

Track A 6 is wrongly titled “Chestnut Mave” on the label.

 “Jesus Is Just Alright” isn’t only wrongly spelled “Jesus Is Just Allright” on the front cover, but it’s not even present on the LP.

Track A8 is mistitled “Intermission” on the label.

Track B1: the short jump in sound is as it is on the vinyl.

Track B3 is mistitled “Medly: My Back Paper, B.J. Blues, Baby What Do You Want Me To Do” on the label.

Track B4 is wrongly titled Jamaica II on the label (Roger McGuinn announces it as “Jamaica”)

 

Wow! So much for accuracy! Couldn’t the bootleggers have some Byrds fan checking before printing and pressing?

The abrupt endings of some songs are as they are on the vinyl.
