Description
Great White Wonder, or GWW, is the first notable rock bootleg album, released in July 1969, and containing unofficially released recordings by Bob Dylan. It is also the first release of the famous bootleg record label Trademark of Quality (or TMQ). Several of the tracks presented here were recorded with The Band in the summer of 1967 in West Saugerties, New York, during the informal sessions that were later released in a more complete form in Dylan's 1975 album The Basement Tapes. Much of the other material consists of a recording made in December 1961 in a Minnesota hotel room (referred to as the "Minnesota hotel tape"), studio outtakes from several of Dylan's albums, and a live performance on The Johnny Cash Show. It was the first time that these previously unheard of recordings came to the market; many more would be released in similar formats over the coming years, though most were single albums, not double albums like this record.
The album was nicknamed the "great white wonder" due to the original pressing's plain white gatefold cover; newer pressings contain the name stamped on. This name—or variations, such as "white wonder",[1] "little white wonder"—would surface in later bootleg releases or in the initials "G.W.W." that were printed on record labels or covers.
Bid with confidence. I am a long time record collector and digger, never sold online in the past but don't worry I love records and know what I'm doing. I grade critically and honestly under proper lighting, properly clean, upgrade inner sleeves, play grade on a Technics 1200 and mail in brand new Sleeve City mailers with filler pads. All samples posted are from actual record, no noise correction is used. Feel free to ask me any questions about deadwax stamper info, condition or other details not listed. Can try to accommodate any alternate or international shipping requests if you want to pay whatever my costs are for it.
