Description

O.K.  This is what you asked for.  A very early version of Dylan's Great White Wonder from TMOQ.

One Yellow and One green Disc in VG+ condition


Great White Wonder or GWW was a double album recording of Bob Dylan, released in July 1969. Some of the tracks came from Dylan's and The Band's legendary Basement Tapes sessions, recorded in the cellar of The Band's upstate New York home, while others were supposedly taped in Minneapolis on December 22, 1961. The recording was never approved by Dylan or his record company. The only identifying mark on the album cover was the text GF 001/2/3/4, and later, after a repressing, gwa 1Aa version 2, leading to the nickname "Great White Wonder".

Released by the infant TMQ label ("Trademark of Quality"), created by two Los Angeles-based men, one a military deserter, Ken and Dub, it was compiled from multiple sources. Two sides of Great White Wonder were entirely given over to songs from an informal ninety-minute tape that Dylan recorded in the apartment of Bonnie Beecher in Minneapolis in December 1961. Another side was a miscellany of studio outtakes. However, it was seven basement-tape cuts that filled up the end of side three and all of side four that aroused the greatest interest.

"The west coast radio stations were first to pick up on Great White Wonder. Five radio stations – KCBS [sic – should be KCSB-FM] in Santa Barbara, KNAC in Long Beach, KRLA in Pasadena and KMET-FM and KPPC-FM in Los Angeles – immediately began playing the album. KRLA was the first.

Said Dub, quoted in Clinton Heylin's Bootleg: The Secret History of the Other Recording Industry, "[Great White Wonder] was just this phenomenon. All of a sudden we just started having fistfuls of money. We didn't realize what we had gotten into."


For all my die hard friends, according to Dennis Liff in Raging Glory, This set is (GWA-1Ba, version 2?)
