WANTED: 45 label scans: 2nd & Last request

Many thanks to Bill Hester for his New Zealand 45s label scans (and many CDs and LPs, too)

One final posting of my request:
In order to make the Dylan Covers DataBase as complete as possible, I am seeking scans of 45RPM record labels that are still missing.
I've posted a list of some required 45s in the Dylan Covers Forum.
If you are able & willing to provide scans of any of these 45 labels (or any other missing scans,) please read the instructions and submit your scans.
Thanks!

Apparently some visitors to the DataBase are unaware that there are images on the detail pages of many items... if there is a + mark in the 3rd column of the DataBase, the item is illustrated. Click on the artist name to access the detail page.
Some have suggested images should appear in the main DataBase list. This would slow down loading of the page, especially for users with slow connections. It would also make the list much less legible by squeezing all the other info, and add too much blank space to the page. I believe my current format is the best compromise. Alternate suggestions welcome.

Kokomo review at BluesNews

A review of Kokomo's In The Well can be found at the New Zealand BluesNews website. I agree with the stellar review, and it's much better than I could write, as evidenced by my attempt at CD Baby !

Miscellaneous ramblings...

• 14 mp3s from the Concert for Bob Dylan's 67th Birthday, Berlin on May 24 can be downloaded HERE. 8 are by Martin Reimann, and 6 are credited to Dylan Hears a Who (unknown if this is related to the Dylan sings Dr. Seuss spoof recordings that circulated last year under that title.)
Thanks to Detta

• A live cover of Sara (spelled Sarah) by New Zealand band Richie Rhinestone and The Insatiable Opium Cowboys can be downloaded HERE. The track is from their 2003 CD I ain't never been to heaven, but I hear they've got a real good bar.
Thanks to Bill Hester

• Recent reports that the upcoming album by Carla Bruni, the Italian ex-model and wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, contains a Dylan cover appear to be incorrect. The song identified as a Dylan cover in news articles is You Belong To Me (See the pyramids along the Nile... Just remember darling, all the while, you belong to me), which Bob covered but of course didn't write. I have not seen a full tracklist for the CD, to be released in July, so it's possible there is another Dylan song on the album.

• The Maria Muldaur Live in Concert DVD does indeed include all 12 covers. The CD version includes one non-Dylan song more than the DVD. The DVD includes a 8:26 interview with Maria discussing Bob Dylan, and the making of the Heart Of Mine CD and other aspects of her career.

• The other recent additions to Dylan Cover Albums have also been updated with complete discograpical information: Kokomo's In The Well and Swamp Dylan's Roots

Coverville: The Bob Dylan Cover Story IV

The latest Coverville podcast is The Bob Dylan Cover Story IV, featuring 10 Dylan covers, mostly well-known but a few more obscure covers. Listen or download the podcast mp3 at coverville.com

Miscellaneous ramblings...

• Susie Glaze covers Lay Down Your Weary Tune on her bluegrass CD Green Kentucky Blues. Available from CD Baby.
Thanks to Michael Tearson for the tip

• Joker777 has added several new listen-only covers to his SoundClick.com page, recorded May 5 at Earth Love, Tanzawa, Japan

• In addition to the new "Live at Royal Albert Hall" CD described in a previous post, Sundazed Records is releasing a 7" single of The Byrds Live in Holland 1971. You Ain't Going Nowhere is on the B-side of Lover of the Bayou.
More info at sundazed.com

• The Andrew Durant Memorial Concert has been released on DVD in Australia. The 1980 concert, previously available on LP, concludes with all the guest performers joining together for Knockin' On Heaven's Door. The DVD issue includes a bonus DVD of Durant's band The Stars Live at Bombay Rock, including a cover of Watching The River Flow. I don't know if this is the same version as on their 1979 LP 1157, which documented their 1157th and final gig.
Thanks to Nick McMahon

Maria Muldaur correction

I'm told the Maria Muldaur Live In Concert DVD does include all 12 of the Dylan covers. Based on published tracklists, I had reported that I'll Be Your Baby Tonight was missing from the DVD version.
Thanks to Michael Tearson for the report

The Unicorn
LP: Peter Pan 8068 (1968, US)

There have been several in recent years, often with Blowin' In The Wind, Forever Young or Man Gave Names To All The Animals, but here is an early example of a Dylan song appearing on an album of music for children. It might be a sign you've gone too far with your covers collecting if you add this 1968 LP of folk songs for children to your want list!
