Review:
Though not as famous as the Hotel Tape, This recording from Bonnie Beecher's apartment predates that one by half a year. Dylan's progress was explosive during this time, and half a year was a lifetime. The tape is nowhere near the league of the later recording, partly because of the low quality of the original recording, and partly due to a remarkably uninspired performance. One of the first times that a young Bob would hear himself on tape; nerves, inexperience, and limited repertoire would result in, at best, this mediocre offering. The tape is significant, however, not only for its historical importance, but also as a standard by which to compare the December tape. The cover photo is from CBS archives, and pictures Dylan in Columbia Studios, NY 1962 during the recording of his second LP.

Review:
Tony Glover recorded this famous tape in Bonnie Beecher's apartment three days before the Christmas of 1961. The recording was traded among a few fans shortly after, and has been in relatively wide circulation since 1969. It was actually the first bootleg ever produced. It was released on an untitled 2 LP set in 1969, and became known as 'Great White Wonder'. It has been available under various titles a countless number of times in the decades that followed. The quality has generally been very good. It is an essential recording to even the smallest collection. To date, only 'Hard Times In New York Town' has seen official release on 'Bootleg Vol 1-3'.
