Conversion to CD of the cult folkmusic LP by Dick Fariña and Eric von Schmidt, famous for an early 1960s cameo by Bob Dylan, appearing as Blind Boy Grunt.
Bio / Background
Producer's Notes
This is a direct conversion to CD format of the 1963 LP, which I underwrote and produced in London. It has been a hard-to-find cult classic for years, and copies of the LP, when they surfaced, typically brought $200 on eBay.
Word reached me late in 2006 that a pirate CD edition was being readied in England. I took legal action in London to prevent that, and this 2-CD release is the product of that successful effort.
The recording features the first recorded appearance by Richard Fariña, who later married Mimi Baez, Joan's sister, and became a successful novelist and recording artist. Fariña was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1966, on Mimi's 21st birthday, which was also the publication date of his cult novel, Been Down So Long It Looked Like Up to Me, which became a Paramount movie.
Also featured is Eric von Schmidt, who died recently, and who was a leader in the glory days of 1960s folk music.
