February 2, 1962 - Belafonte Sessions - 1 CD [top]
Bob plays harmonica on these 20 takes of Harry Belanfonte singing "Midnight Special"
This was for years thought to be Bob's first commercial recording session, and is dated variously between Jun and Dec 1961 by Krogsgaard, Dundas and Heylin. However, documentation found in 2001 in the RCA vaults along with the tapes dates the session definitively as having been recorded at Webster Hall, New York City, on the later date of 2 Feb 1962.
