No images for this were found online and the mindless zombies at Kinko's refused to scan it for me citing copyright concerns. Yeah, I'm sure there are no previous violations involved. Anyway, we have the next best technological invention - the cellphone photo.The record itself contains no performance info whatsoever, other than the subtitle "Broadcasts of rare and Vitriolic Quality".
I grew up on Dylan and Kinks bootlegs. It never occurred to me what a labor of love some of them must have been. It took far more to get this stuff out there back then than it does now in this digital age.
Oh yeah.. the music itself... Well, Bird does not disappoint, but he rarely does. Highlights include this version of Star Eyes, and Cheryl, which I am not familiar with otherwise. Easy to Love is recorded with live with strings.
Hopefully some Bird aficionado can come along and tell us where these songs originated.

At least the first four tracks here appear to come from a live session in Montreal, 1953 (with Paul Bley on piano!)

here are the discographical infos from a bird aficionado: this lp is from the unique archive of boris rose. a name legendary in jazz circles. he recorded thousands of radio shows in the 40´s,50´s and 60´s, pressed his own lp´s and selled it. a one man bootleg company. but without him we never heard the greatest live bebop, cool jazz and other stuff.

You guys freaking rock. I knew Bird brought em outta the woodwork. Thanks for all the info. And thanks for stopping by.
Some of these tracks are familiar to me, some not. I'll definitely have to check them out. Thanks!
@Delano 47 - Good to see you here - I recognize you from jazzbabel, which I miss a lot. Where are you hanging your hat these days? Have you stayed in touch with any of the JB crew?
