Polish mystery

This 1960s Polish EP by No To Co Grupa Skifflowa i Piotr Janczerski includes a track credited to B. Dylan and R. Tur (for the translation?) The track title is listed as Ballada bez tytulu (A Ballad Without Title.)
Thanks to Manuel Garcia Jara

Update: Hear this track on YouTube. I don't recognize a Dylan song though, sounds like Universal Soldier to me. Any Polish-speakers out there?
Thanks to Dag on Facebook

Update 2: Based both on the melody and some reverse translating, the concensus seems to be that this in not a Dylan song at all, but merely an error in the writer's credit :(

DataBase update: +124

Maria re-issued

Maria Muldaur's Live in Concert - essentially a live version of her Dylan covers album with a few of her own songs added - has been reissued as a 2-disc CD+DVD combination by the UK Retroworld label. Content is the same as the original 2008 US CD and DVD, but with new artwork.
Oddly, the label's own listing reads Live in Concert 1974, although the content is clearly the 2007 concert.
[amazon.com][amazon.co.uk]

The album's listing at Dylan Cover Albums has been updated.
If anyone can provide the catalog number of this release, please advise.
Also if you can clarify the format and region of the DVD. Amazon-US states the DVD is NTSC/Region-O, Amazon-UK does not specify, although both are the same ASIN number, so caution is advised regarding compatibility of the DVD.

The Spokesmen on CD!

Reissue labels continue to mine the vaults for vintage records to reissue, both on CD and via download.
The That Philly Sound label has reissued the 1965 album by The Spokesmen, best known for The Dawn of Correction, its title-track answer song to Barry McGuire's Eve of Destruction.
Of interest here - of course - are the album's two Dylan covers: Love Minus Zero/No Limit and It Ain't Me Babe.
