Lennon, and Paul McCartney. A review of the non-existent album ran in Rolling Stone on October 18, 1969. The write-up sparked numerous inquiries from readers, and a band was hired to record first some singles, then a full album. The album was released in November 1969 under a Warner Bros. subsidiary created as part of the stunt.Stealin, which appeared later in 1969, began to compile more studio outtakes, with many tracks coming from the Highway 61 Revisited sessions of 1965, along with tracks that also appeared on Great White Wonder. It also included takes of songs that would eventually be released by Columbia via the official "Bootleg Series".[3] But this too began to be copied and re-released by different bootleg record labels, with sound quality suffering greatly between each copying.1970 saw the first release of the "Royal Albert Hall" material, recorded May 17, 1966 at the Manchester Free Trade Hall, titled In 1966 There Was, which also contained tracks from a different concert on the tour.[4] Zimmerman Looking Back was released later that year, and contained the entire electric set played on May 17, 1966, as well as four songs from the acoustic set of a concert recorded in Ireland.[5] Over the years, many more labels began to release the electric set, generally using the phrase "Royal Albert Hall" in the title. In 1971, TMQ released just the electric set, titled GWW: Royal Albert Hall.[6] The acoustic set was generally overlooked by the pirates, until the entire concert was officially released by Columbia in 1998.After the early 1970s, pirates continued to copy old material, along with releasing new studio outtakes and live shows. Dylan's Isle of Wight Festival performance was first bootlegged in 1970 as Isle of Wight, but the concert was incomplete. Eventually, the whole concert was available on illicit albums. Dylan's set at George Harrison's "Concert for Bangladesh" from 1971 soon appeared on bootlegs, such as Madison Square Garden and Bangla Desh, usually paired with part of Harrison's set.[7]Dylan's 1974 tour with The Band also became a large source of the bootlegs. Mr. Cleen Records released Chicago in 1974, which included 10 songs from Dylan's second Chicago appearance that year. This is probably the first release of material from that tour.[8]1976 saw the first release of Rolling Thunder Revue material, with Passed Over and Rolling Thunder, a double album that contained a variety of songs.[9] Almost the entire benefit show for Rubin "Hurricane" Carter on December 8, 1975, was released as Hurricane Carter Benefit, by the Singers Label.[10] Bootlegging Dylan continued to be prosperous throughout the rest of the 1970s, 80s, and beyond, with many hundreds of titles released.Commonly bootlegged recordings[edit]The Minnesota Hotel Tapes[edit]There are three tapes that are commonly referred as the "Minnesota Tapes": the Minnesota party tape, and the two Minnesota hotel tapes. The first was recorded sometime in May 1961, while the last two were recorded in December of that same year. The earliest tape was recorded by Dylan's girlfriend at the time, Bonnie Beecher, while the other two were recorded by friend Tony Glover.[11] Several songs
