BLIND BOY GRUNT Dick Farina & Eric Von Schmidt (Very rare
1963 UK only 17-track mono LP recorded at Dobell's Jazz
Record Shop in London on 14th & 15th January that year. This
record has since become legendary for the involvement of
'Blind BoyGrunt' on four of the tracks - Glory Glory, Overseas
Stomp, Xmas Island & Cocaine. The album was a release by
Dick Fariña with Eric Von Schmidt & Ethan Signer but 'Blind
Boy' performed backing vocals & harmonica on those four
tracks. A relative unknown at the time, on his first visit to the
UK, he was even listed on the label copy sheets for the
sessions as Bob Diglan. The sleeve has some notable
edgewear and a little laminate creasing whilst the vinyl
remains very ggod with some cosmetic surface scuffs to show
play TF-LEUT/7)
TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
This was an impromptu recording made in London on January 14 and 15, 1963 using a single microphone. Joining Fariña and von Schmidt were Ethan Signer (of the Charles River Valley Boys) on fiddle, mandolin, and guitar, and occasionally Blind Boy Grunt. Blind Boy Grunt was of course the pseudonym of Bob Dylan, whose Columbia contract prevented his real name from appearing on the album.
