Record inlay sheet: Wed., Oct. 8., 1969, San Francisco Chronicle On The TownRalph J. GleasonTHE RECENT ISSUE of Rolling Stone, the rockpaper, has put-on review of "The Masked Ma- rauders," supposedly a super special secret album featuring Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan, John Lennon and others doing all sorts of far-out things, including Dylan singing "Season of the Witch." It was intended as a joke. That's right, son, a joke. Well sir, everybody is taking it seriously and not just young people, either. Allen Klein, the busi- ness manager of the Rolling Stones and the Beatles called and wanted to know where he could get one. Albert Grossman, Dylan's manager, had his secre- tary ring through and ask, and one of the local KSAN disc jockies wanted to know when they were going to get their copy. Al Kooper, listed in the re- view as producing the date, refused to comment to a reporter in New York, thus adding to the mystery. And now, gentlemen, let me clue you in to a real secret: amoung those attending the millionaires' con- ference here recently were Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger and John Lennon. Mama Cass waited outside for them in car. All in all it's a delightful bit of instant mytholo- gy. There were so many give-away lines in the re- view that it is simply incredible ANYONE believed it. Recorded at a secret studio "in a small town near the site of the original Hudson's Bay Colony in Can- ada." Indeed ! |
