Bob Dylan / Roger McGuinn – The Sparrow And The Byrd (aka The Byrd And The Sparrow)



Bob Dylan / Roger McGuinn – The Sparrow And The Byrd (aka The Byrd And The Sparrow)

Two LPs = no labels, no reference numbers (Germany 1985)

These are two identical LPs with the same tracks in the same sequence. The first one is housed in a blue and white sleeve and is titled “The Sparrow And The Byrd”. The second one is housed in a red and white sleeve and is titled “The Byrd And The Sparrow”.

Audio is the same on both records.

Both sleeves are unfolding in three parts (see images).

The “red” one has a text on the third part; the “blue” one’s third part is white.

All labels are plain white so they’re not included.

Bob Dylan tracks recorded during the 1984 tour of Europe (with Santana, Mick Taylor, Ian McLagan, Colin Allen, Greg Sutton - see dates and places details on back cover).

Roger McGuinn tracks recorded in Bochum, Germany on August 1, 1984.

On both releases, track B1, they forgot to print the second “o” in “Follow” on the back covers.
