MANCHESTER PRAYER
Swingin' Pig 054 [T-120]
(1) Free Trade Hall (Manchester, UK); May 17, 1966
(2) Royal Albert Hall (London, UK); May 27, 1966
Tracklist: (1) She Belongs To Me, Fourth Time Around, Visions Of
Johanna, It's All Over Now, Baby Blue

NOTE: To be avoided. The first four tracks have now
been officially released, while more complete versions of the
London show circulate freely. The cover slips inaccurately source all the tracks to Manchester. This disc has been issued under several sets of cover slips, probably from different issuers claiming to be the Swingin' Pig label.
rmd: The sound quality is excellent. This is the best
sounding of the '66 tour CDs. These songs are all acoustic, and
Dylan's performance sounds less hindered by drugs then so many of
the '66 shows. Annoyingly, the last cut is faded out. (Anthony Kapolka)
Heylin: A suberb declicked version of the acoustic set from
Dylan's fabled gig, taken directly from Columbia acetates.
