Josephine Baker sings Dylan

It's not often that a Dylan cover by a famous performer goes undetected, but just yesterday I was told of a cover of The Times They Are A-Changin' by Joséphine Baker. The recording is from Baker's 1973 concert at Carnegie Hall, and was released in France on the LP Josephine Baker Recorded Live At Carnegie Hall later that year. A CD was issued in 1995 but is now out of print.
If anyone can provide a scan of the LP and/or CD, it would be much appreciated. I could not find anything on-line.
And of course if anyone can provide a mp3 of the track... :))

I'm curious to know if anyone knew of this cover! Please leave a comment.

Thanks to Jack for the tip and info

Steve Forbert covers Tryin' To Get To Heaven

Steve Forbert covers Tryin' To Get To Heaven on Underwatertown, a new four song download EP to benefit victims of the recent flooding in Iowa. All proceeds from sale of the downloads go to The Iowa Artist Relief Fund.
I'm biased being a long-time Forbert fan, but it's a great cover of the song, recorded solo in May of 2006. So help a good cause and get a great cover. The title track Underwatertown is an unreleased Forbert song from 1983.
Purchasing is very easy with payment via PayPal, after which you are redirected to a download page with 4 simple links to high-quality 320kbps mp3s.

From the DylanCover.com collection: The Passports

The Times They Are A-Changin' (3:22)
The Passports
Passports - Tabooz 66
LP: Cori CRLP 31002 (1966, US)

The Passports and The Tabooz were two female vocal groups from the now-defunct Bradford Junior College, located west of Boston, Massachusetts. The school later became co-ed, but was women-only at the time of these 1966 recordings. Each side of the split-LP featured one of the groups, The Times They Are A-Changin' was performed by The Passports. It's very unlikely this LP will ever be on CD!

New in the DylanCover.com collection: Star Hustler

Seven Curses (5:07)
Star Hustler
Transamber
CD: Dirt Records drt035; 1998 (US)

Star Hustler was first formed as a alt-rock band in Portland, Oregon, led by Bostonian Jason Hatfield (Juliana's brother.) By the time of Transamber, Hatfield was back in Boston and Star Hustler had become an alt-country/bluegrass/rock band, with Blake Hazard on co-lead vocals. Most of the album, including Seven Curses, features their male-female harmonizing vocals. The short (37 minute/10 track) album has 8 original songs by Hatfield, the other cover is Flatt & Scruggs' Dim Lights.
This CD is out of print, check for used copies at amazon.com
