In January 1963, Richard Farina and Eric Von Schmidt, both noted performers of the early-'60s folk revival, teamed up to cut an album (titled Dick Farina & Eric Von Schmidt) at Dobell's record shop in London. The LP was not issued until 1967 (and then only in the U.K.).

The record is a highly sought-after collectible for a reason that has little to do with the principal performers: Blind Boy Grunt, a pseudonym for Bob Dylan plays backup harmonica and adds some backup vocals to a few of the tracks. Ethan Signer, of the Original Charles River Valley Boys, also plays on the album.

Seriously rare and on the UK Folklore Records label, this copy is VERY NICE! Rarely offered missing piece in any Dylan or early folk collection.

Recorded at Dobell's Record Shop, London 14th & 15th January 1963.

A brief note on Bob Dylan’s various pseudonyms used on different recording sessions: 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 (Allmusic.com)

·                               CONDITION:

·                               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 STRONG VERY GOOD+(+) . CAUTION: The vinyl is NOT MINT or NEAR MINT, but is nevertheless in a very nice and clean condition. There are some surface marks and abrasions, mostly light and superficial, although some may be longer than 1.1/4 inches (1 inch = 2.5 centimeters)

(b)          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!

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

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

·       COVER (THIS IS THE ORIGINAL, LAMINATED, GLOSSY COVER):

THE COVER IS NICE --- ABOUT VERY GOOD++ (VG++).

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-        Back cover has some light yellowish stains, probably from exposure to humidity, covering about one quarter of the back panel.

-         Cover has some light ring wear (nothing significant); On the scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and  10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 2   (front side) and 3 (back side)

-         Cover shows some light yellowing on both sides, apparently from aging   (nothing significant).

-         Cover has a few tiny wrinkles along the seams

-         Cover has a visible wrinkle (crease) in the cardboard base on the front panel

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

-         The laminated cover has a few air 'bubbles' and wrinkles in lamination (this is a common problem with most laminated 50’s and 60’s covers

NO OTHER IMPERFECTIONS ON THE COVER:

-        No split seams
