Bob Dylan - WE DIDN'T REALLY GET IT ON UNTIL OAKLAND -
ultra-rare "Live" Double LP


This double-album can be named as one of the "TOP 10" rarest Bob Dylan boots. The complete show Oakland 11.2.74 evening in fine quality. Only very few copies of this title were manufactured - and a later re-issue of the cover was filled with "Rolling Stones"-discs.

2 full-size inserts, standard "Great Live Concerts"-record-labels (dark blue / yellow)

Dominque Roques, the author of the famous Dylan-bootleg-book "Great White Answers", says:
"This double album offers the complete Oakcland first show (FGeb. 11 74) in very good quality (stereo). This album is curiously extremely rare; it was released in 74 ... In 77 it appeared again but this cover contained "Relling Stones" records!!! There is a mystery about this album ..."

"Bob's Boots" give a little more information:
"A very rare and misunderstood LP from 1974 ... The confusion lies both with the relative unavailability of the LP, and with misinformation of earlier chronologies. The earlier guides, Cable and Hot Wacks, failed to list it altogether. As it doesn't have an actual title, it has been referred to by several. "1974" and "Oakland" among them. Great White Answers gives it the title "We Didn't Really Get It On Until Oackland" from a misspelling of a quote on the back insert. It also states that the cover is full printed. Most likely it never was. GWA also reports a blank label. While there might have been one or two blank, the labels were actually full printed with a "Great Live Concerts" label. More confusion set in with the publication of Raging Glory. It titles the set "Dylan & The Band 1974". While it correctly lists the package features of two inserts and blue and yellow labels, it states that the set is a 1985 reissue of the original 1974 release. There was no reissue. The fact is, there were only a few copies manufactured in 1974 ... . Whatever the reason for the small quantity run, at about the same time period TMOQ was releasing the 'St. Venaltines'-box. This was from the show of 3 days later at Inglewood. Since the two shows were similar, it's very feasible that this project simply got lost in the hubbub of the other projects, and in the transfer of power between the TMOQ regimes.
