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.

Incredibly, “new” Gene Clark concerts keep surfacing from time to time - this one, 36 years after it was performed and recorded.

Another one that was sent in by a visitor. It seems to originate from TD; thanks to the taper and the original uploader and poster.

Audience recording; don’t expect Hi-Fi!

I used Audacity to level, clean and balance the audio files.

Artwork is mine. Pictured on the front cover (left to right) are Rick Roberts, Carlos Bernal, Gene Clark…and John York’s arm, leg and guitar neck.

Acoustic concert

This is one I received from a visitor. Not sure, but it seems to originate from D-A-D. If so, thanks to the original taper and uploader. If not, thanks to them anyway.

Audio files are just as I received them, except I tagged them and I deleted duplicated files.

I added artwork.
