Self Portrait / McGuinn

Unfortunately, the story McGuinn tells about "Self Portrait" isn't accurate. McGuinn and the Byrds were recruited to work at the first "New Morning" session.

http://www.bjorner.com/DSN01790%201970.htm#DSN01810

The correct chronology is reported in Clive Davis' autobiography and in Heylin's original "Behind The Shades." McGuinn believed he was going to work on "Self Portrait" because he bought into the well-circulated myth that Dylan didn't start working on "New Morning" until after "Self Portrait" was released, but the Columbia session records have been dug out and published; they show that Dylan was working on the "New Morning" songs as early as March 1970, and all but one of the "New Morning" sessions took place before "Self Portrait" was released. Cf the Bjorner site linked above, Heylin's "Recording Sessions," Dundas' "Tangled (Up In Tapes)." Monicasdude 00:41, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Greatest White Wonder

There's no evidence that the "Greatest White Wonder" Landau mentioned ever existed, except as a title somebody wrote on a plain-cover bootleg LP. (And here were lots of those around in the early 1970s.) It doesn't show up as verified in any reliable Dylan discographies; nobody's turned up a copy, and the Google hits all trace back to Landau. Whatever Landau heard, there was a bootleg called "Looking Back" available in metro New York in early/spring 1971, and even that one may not have been the first.
