A-E F-J K-O P-S T-Z


Picture from the Highway 61 Interactive CD-ROM (see 1995)
showing Bob with Johnny Cash, who recorded One Too Many Mornings together in 1969 - although not used in Nashville Skyline, an excerpt of the performance can be seen in the documentary Johnny Cash: The Man His World His Music now available on DVD (see VHS & DVD 1960s)

This is the third part of a list of songs in the Searching For A Gem pages. Titles in red are not included on a currently available Columbia Bob Dylan CD (for these see bobdylan.com ). Dates are of first release.

(Indefinite and definite articles at the beginning of song titles are ignored, so A COUPLE MORE YEARS is listed under "C" and THE BALLAD OF HOLLIS BROWN is listed under "B", for example. "Mr." is listed as if spelled out as "Mister".)

Let It Be Me (Pierre Delanoë/Gilbert Bécaud/M. Curtis) [Self Portrait, 1970]

R-1100 Album track from Self Portrait with different mix, from the "West Houston Street Acetates", 2014

R-0154 B-side of 1981 Heart Of Mine single, Shot Of Love out-take recorded May 1981 - not the 1970 Self Portrait version, see 1981
This performance was not released on a Dylan album until The Bootleg Series Vol. 16 - Springtime In New York 1980-1985 in Sep 2021. It appears only on CD2 of the 5CD set and LP2 of the limited edition 4LP set from Third Man Records, so remains a rarity. However, the 2021 version is very different from the 1981 version. It is immediately apparent as a different mix from the original B-side - there are some extra guitar strums before the song starts on the single and the guitar has been mixed down behind the organ at the beginning of the song.

This is the only recorded performance of this song by Bob, the performance on the 1975 double album The Basement Tapes is by The Band with vocals by Rick Danko. The song was performed live by Bob on other occasions in late 1965, but this is the only known recording. Thanks to Bob Stacy who writes: "In the "Chicago Tribune", 27 Nov 65 (the day following the show at Aire Crown Theater, 26 Nov 65), the reviewer Bruce Plowman noted, "Dylan introduced a new song last night, one which he wrote, called 'Long Distance Operator'." Also, Bob says someone who attended the show at San José, CA, 12 Dec 1965, remembers hearing the song. No studio version is known.

Milk Cow Blues (Robert Johnson/James "Kokomo" Arnold*)

Also known as Milk Cow (Calf's) Blues

*Note on authorship: Michael Krogsgaard reports the studio records as listing this song as "Milk Cow Calf's Blues" by Robert Johnson. Michael Gray in "Song & Dance Man III" (Cassell, 1999) says: "When Dylan recorded "Milk Cow Blues" (unreleased) in 1962, he used part of Kokomo Arnold's lyric, part of Presley's, part of Robert Johnson's 1937 "Milk Cow's Calf's Blues" and part of Lead Belly's "Good Morning Blues", shuffling the elements around in the course of two takes." (Gray says earlier that although Elvis Presley's Sun version ("Milkcow Blues Boogie") is credited to Kokomo Arnold, it is completely different from Arnold's song, and seems actually to be the version of "Milk Cow Blues" recorded by Johnny Lee Wills in 1941.) According to Krogsgaard there were actually four takes on 25 Apr 1962, take 1 did not  come into circulation until 2012 on the Sony Music Europe 4CD set The 50th Anniversary Collection (see 2012), take 2 was incomplete, and the takes which surfaced in 1980 referred to by Gray were takes 3 and 4.

Mixed Up Confusion [7" Mono Single, Dec 1962, then Biograph, 1985]

For details of all the alternate takes of this song, see 1962, 1974, 1976, 1978, 1982, 1984, 1985, 1997 and the Sony Music Europe 4CD set The 50th Anniversary Collection, 2012. Many thanks to Roger Ford, Les Kokay, Bob Stacy and Ian Woodward for all their information about these alternate takes, and for permission to reproduce their findings.

Take A

R-0007 A-side of US Columbia mono 7" single, Dec 1962, recorded Columbia Studios, New York, 14 Nov 1962 (take 14)

R-0575 Different mono mix of R-0007 (original 1962 US single), from US Columbia acetate, surfaced Nov 1983

R-0888 Stereo version of R-0007 on the 1997 remastered CD release of Biograph, see 1997, now replaced on the latest Biograph by R-0748, see below

Take B

R-0145 A re-working of the original take, almost certainly overdubbed at a later date with different musicians, and slowed down by a semitone (approximately 5%) in the process. This is probably a product of the 8 Dec 1962 overdub session which produced the “electric” House Of The Risin' Sun that appeared on the Highway 61 Interactive CD-ROM (see 1995); if so then the overdub was produced without Dylan’s involvement. This mono mix of the overdub, with Dylan’s vocal and guitar very much to the fore, first appeared on  the Japanese promo LP Mr. D's Collection # 1 (see 1974), then on the Japanese promo EP Mr. D's Collection # 2 (see 1977) and the 1978 Japanese/Australian compilation Masterpieces (see 1978). This take is specifically labelled as mono on the Japanese release of Masterpieces, although on the Australian release it is shown wrongly as stereo. (Text from Roger Ford.)

R-0748 A stereo mix of the same overdub take as R-0145, with the overdubbed backing more clearly audible, but faded out a few seconds earlier and similarly slowed down. This appeared on the original 1985 release of Biograph (see 1985), disappeared in 1997 when the album was remastered, but has recently resurfaced on a European “ecolbook” edition of the album - see the Biograph page of International Albums (Regular).
Thanks to Blake Eikenberry for information that 2013's Side Tracks, released as a 2CD set as part of The Complete Album Collection Vol. One and also as a limited numbered edition 3LP set, also contains the alternate take of Mixed Up Confusion from the 1985 release of Biograph (R-0748)! See International Album Releases (Regular) - 2010s Multi-Packs and International Album Releases (Dylan-Only Compilations) 2010s.

R-0576 Different mono mix of R-0145, from US Columbia acetate, surfaced Nov 1983

R-0577 Second different mono mix of R-0145, from US Columbia acetate, surfaced Nov 1983

R-0578 Third different mono mix of R-0145, from US Columbia acetate, surfaced Nov 1983

Take C

R-0573 Second alternate take to the original single, out-take from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, recorded at Columbia Studios, New York, 26 Oct 1962 (take 5), again without the opening harmonica solo but with different lyrics from Take B, from a 1962 Columbia acetate that surfaced in Apr 1982, now released in a probably slightly different mono mix on the Sony Music Europe 4CD set The 50th Anniversary Collection, 2012.

Take D

R-0537M Unfaded version (mono) from UK mono Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, mono reduction of R-0537
No longer a rarity, see above

R-0537 Unfaded version (stereo) from UK stereo Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, 1967 (still available on CD) and gold CD release of Blonde On Blonde, 1990s (now deleted), see 1966 (Take 24 from 25 Jan 1966)
I previously reported that One Of Us Must Know (Sooner Or Later) on the UK release of Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits was an unfaded stereo version. However, it now appears that this is incorrect and R-0537 has been removed from the Rarities list.
