The Surprise label always did a fantastic job. They released mainly Beatles LP's on the NEMS Label , but were responsible for many more incredible pieces. This is no exception. One of the few boots in existence to have a full write-up of the album on the back cover It was recorded in West Saugerties, N.Y., June–October 1967. Bob Dylan used the alias Blind Boy Grunt for recordings he made for Broadside Records in 1962–63. The alias was revived by the compilers of this unauthorized release, which nowhere includes the name Dylan—though the extensive rear cover notes do refer several times to "Bob." In 1975 Columbia released its official version of The Basement Tapes, and at the time it was thought that all of the songs from that session were in circulation. However, the inclusion of Going To Acapulco, a previously unknown recording, raised the suspicion that there might have been many more songs as yet uncovered. This suspicion turned to reality about ten years later when a new batch of tapes appeared and were subsequently bootlegged as two double LP sets called Blind Boy Grunt and the Hawks I & II. These records not only presented entirely new material, they also contained a few of the standard tracks in new stereo mixes. These mixes were of a crude nature that betrayed the primitive recording equipment used and put an end to the speculation that the basement tapes were actually recorded in Columbia's studios. The new tracks also showed a new side of Dylan and the Band. There is considerably more goofing off and the atmosphere is more relaxed than what was apparent on the "core" tracks that we were all familiar with.
