  1. The producer is Esmond Edwards. Interesting that the Dylan covers link posted by jazztrain also pictures a radio station promo single. Perhaps this was never officially issued by Columbia?
  2. I have a 45 RPM single which I found in a junk store in Atlanta about 25 years ago. It's a "Not for resale - Radio Station Copy" promo single: Columbia 4-44977 by saxophonist John Handy. He's playing Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay" on both sides - stereo on one side, mono on the other. The arrangement in credited to Benny Golson - it's guitar-heavy, with electric bass and piano. One side is stamped Sep 15 1969, which I'm guessing is the date some radio station received it. It's a little bit of a period piece, musically, but the saxophone playing is impressive, with some altissimo-register stuff near the end. I've never seen this recording listed in any discography. About a month ago I emailed Handy through his website, asking about it, but I never got any reply. Does anyone know anything about this odd little record?
  3. Just discovered this forum. Hello to all, particularly chitownjazz. I just won the Wild Bill Davidson/Boyce Brown Collector's Item 78 in an auction. Apparently it has never been reissued in any other format. I'll let you know how it is when I get it. Now let me see if my 78 RPM turntable still works....
