Superb copy of Bob Dylan - Are You Now Or Have You Ever Been? (His Gotham Ingress) - TAKRL/1952 Mono.    This is an incredible sounding 1974 TAKRL release - rated as a 9 star album on bobsboots.com.   Album has a plain white jacket with a yellow paper insert (taped to sleeve - some slight aging marks and scuffs) with a picture of lower Manhattan circa 1966.   Plain yellow labels with 'SIDE ONE' and  'SIDE TWO' stamped on labels. 

The source is the famous un-released CBS album of the concert at Carnegie Hall, Oct 26 1963 and *NY Town Hall - April 12, 1963. The shows were recorded to be released as a live Columbia album, but disputes arose (including CBS hesitating on the release of the well over 6 minute rambling soliloquy "Last Thoughts"). This seems to be the thorn in the side that doomed the project. 

Vinyl in fantastic condition and looks rarely played if played at all - superb labels and spindles.    

Side one: 

Last thoughts on Woody Guthrie * / Lay down your weary tune / Dusty old Fair grounds * / Ballad of Hollis Brown *

Side two: 

When the ship comes in  / Who killed Davy Moore?  / Percy's song  / New Orleans rag * / Seven curses

The title of this LP is, of course, in reference to the McCarthy era question "Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?"  Fitting, as Dylan was in his early "protest the corruption of established authority" incarnation.   No song said it better than John Birch, but on this recording, Percy's Song and Seven Curses tell the story.  The sub-title refers to his ingress (or coming into) Gotham (a Batman inspired reference to New York City).   Gotham, in actuality, is in Jersey.
