Description
Great White Wonder, or GWW, is the first notable rockbootleg album, released in July 1969, and containing unofficially releasedrecordings by Bob Dylan. It is also the first release of the famous bootlegrecord label Trademark of Quality (or TMOQ). Seven of the twenty-four trackspresented here were recorded with The Band in the summer of 1967 in WestSaugerties, New York, during the informal sessions that were later released ina more complete form in Dylan's 1975 album The Basement Tapes. Much of the othermaterial consists of a recording (of ten tracks) made in December 1961 in aMinnesota hotel room (referred to as the "Minnesota hotel tape"),studio outtakes from several of Dylan's albums, and a live performance on TheJohnny Cash Show. It was the first time that these previously unreleasedrecordings came to the market; many more would be released in similar formatsover the coming years, though most were single albums, not double albums likethis record.
