In 1973 the Italian Label Joker released this, the
first of the quasi-legitimate
rare batch series in Europe. The Original cover was a simple pink
cover with title and songs. (gwa82Aa)
In 1978 it was re-issued with a great looking cover
with photo
of Bob at Bangladesh show. (gwa82Ab) Package
displayed all of the
earmarks of a major Label. Great cover, nice looking full printed
labels,
and good sound quality.
The only problems with this LP are that there are many
mistakes listing
the song titles; and it does not list the source material
for
any of the songs.
In 1975 it was released on the Italian Label SUPERBUDGET.
(gwa82B). Front cover is live in Paris May 24
1966. labels are full printed
red. This is the exact same LP as gwa82A.
Also in '75 The LP was released in Italy
by BUHAY as Little
white wonder Vol. 1 (gwa82C) Pressed from different
master plates.
In 1981 the original was again released by Joker with
all of the same
song title mistakes. Great new covers were printed that used 1978
photos.
There were also new labels printed up. The LPs were
stamped from the original,
clear sounding master plates.
