Something
a little embarrassing!
In 1999, just after my “Dylan: Contraband” book came out, I decided to push a few of my songs in some folk clubs in Hertfordshire and the Home Counties. Naively as it turned out, I gave a couple of demo tape sets to various folk club secretaries and asked them to promote them to any local performers who might be looking for new music.
Someone – I never knew who – decided to bootleg this material. The bootlegs (issued on the US mp3 label) disappeared without trace thank goodness and that was that. Except Google has now told me one under the name of Beau – The Folk Singer is now being listed by 45worlds.com.
In case anyone is interested, a) this is/was NOT an official album and b) the sound quality was for demo purposes only and was below par for an official release.
If you come across one of these mp3 releases, please steer clear. The officially-released versions are much better!
