Released in 1972, after many of its artists had risen to international acclaim, Broadside Ballads, Vol. 6 contains previously unreleased songs that appeared in the folk publication Broadside Magazine, founded in 1962. With a lineup that includes Blind Boy Grunt (Bob Dylan), Peter La Farge, Phil Ochs, and Tom Paxton, Broadside Ballads, Vol. 6, is unique not only for its varied talent but also because of its source—the songs were mainly recorded during impromptu performances at Broadside’s New York apartment throughout the 1960s with little more than guitar and vocals. One of the exceptions is "Drums," Peter La Farge’s last public performance in Greenwich Village before his death in 1965.

Contains the tracks "Train A-Travelin’," "Only Time Will Tell," "Dreadful Day," "Tate’s Hell," "Moon Song," "Hunger and Cold," "Drums," "The Ballad of Emmett Till," and "The Ballad of Jesse James," which were not featured on The Best of Broadside: 1962-1988.

Liner notes include sheet music, lyrics, photos, and track histories.

***

The Blind Boy Grunt alias was certainly one of the wittiest pseudonyms in pop history, poking fun at the whole notion of young white guys digging into the early-20th century repertoire of blues legends like Blind Boy Fuller. Its use wasn't limited to that 1963 Broadside album, either. In early 1963, Dylan contributed harmonica and backup vocals to an album recorded by fellow folkies Richard Farina and Eric Von Schmidt; when the LP was finally released in 1967 (as Dick Farina & Eric Von Schmidt), his parts were attributed to Blind Boy Grunt. In November 1971, a couple more songs Dylan had recorded for Broadside in the early 1960s, "Train A-Travelin'" and "I'd Hate to Be You on That Dreadful Day," were exhumed and included on the Folkways compilation album Broadside Reunion. To add further to the discographical confusion, that album also had a couple of other Dylan performances, "The Ballad of Emmett Till" and "The Ballad of Donald White," taken from a show he recorded (but which was not broadcast) for WBAI in New York in May 1962. All four of the Dylan tracks on Broadside Reunion, again, were credited to Blind Boy Grunt. And all four of these, again, were very secondary, quality-wise, even by the standards of his early compositions. It should also be noted that the recording fidelity and level of performance on some of the Broadside/Grunt/Dylan cuts are sometimes (though not always) way below official release standards as well.

The Broadside/Folkways compilations containing the Blind Boy Grunt songs are not too easy to come by anymore, although a few (NOT ALL) of them were reissued in 2000 on Smithsonian Folkways' The Best of Broadside box. All of the Blind Boy Grunt tracks from the Broadside/Folkways LPs are on the Dylan bootleg Broadside, which also has eight unreleased songs he did for Broadside and an unreleased version of "Blowin' in the Wind" from his May 1962 WBAI taping. The Blind Boy Grunt pseudonym has also been trotted out for use on various Dylan bootlegs, as sort of an in-joke likely to be picked up on by fans serious enough to collect Dylan boots in the first place. As a footnote, Blind Boy Grunt is not the only pseudonym Dylan has used on record: he also appears as piano player Bob Landy on the Elektra anthology The Blues Project (on the song "Downtown Blues"), as Tedham Porterhouse when playing harmonica on Ramblin' Jack Elliott's 1964 album track "Will the Circle Be Unbroken," and as Robert Milkwood Thomas when adding piano and harmony vocals to Steve Goodman's "Somebody Else's Troubles" in the early 1970s. Also, Janis Ian used the pseudonym Blind Girl Grunt when recording for Broadside.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               THE RECORD

 (IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          WE GRADE THE VINYL AS EXCELLENT. This is one of those albums that are somewhat difficult to grade. It is somewhere between VG++ and NEAR MINT, just a notch below NEAR MINT. A few light abrasions ARE visible, but they are extremely shallow, superficial  and only moderately visually distracting (nothing significant).For the most part, the vinyl looks impeccable without any MAJOR visual flaws or imperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new.

(b)          Stereo copies of this album are NOT known to exist.

(c)           The album comes with its original 12-page booklet included and intact.

(d)          The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(e)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·                               THE COVER

THE COVER IS NEAR MINT !

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        The cover has a small 1-inch wide circular "bubble" in back panel; apparently, a minor cover construction flaw

-         Minor shelf wear noted on the seams (nothing significant)

-         Cover has two corners slightly worn (BARELY VISIBLE)

-         Cover has a light "wrinkle" (crease)  in one of the corners.

NO OTHER VISIBLE FLAWS OR IMPERFECTIONS ON THE  COVER
