"With God On Our Side"/"Motorpsycho Nitemare" - 7" mono EP, CBS EP 6266 (France), 1966:

In a unique release exclusive to France, With God On Our Side from The Times They Are A -Changin' is cut into two with Part 1 (5:21) on the A-side, and Part 2 (1:43) on the B-side together with Motorpsycho Nitemare from Another Side Of Bob Dylan.

CBS EP 6266 (France) - B-side (R-0595 plus Motorpsycho Nitemare

I previously listed this just as R-0048, but to achieve consistency in the list I have now allocated a separate R-number to Part 2 (Fin). This is a different split of the song from the one on the US Columbia promo single with R-0039/R-0594 (see 1964), which was about 50-50.

R-0048 With God On Our Side (Début) (5:21)

R-0595 With God On Our Side (Fin) (1:43)

The rear sleeve shows the French Positively 4th Street EP (CBS 6210, see 1965) and three French Bob Dylan LPs - "Mister" Bob Dylan (actually The Times They Are A-Changin' - see Mono Album Releases), Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited.

Tom Rush - "Take A Little Walk With Me" - vinyl LP, Elektra EKL 308 (mono)/EKLS 7308 (stereo), (USA), 1966/CD: Collector's Choice Music WWCCM0230 2 (USA), Sep 2001:
Paul Cable says in his book "Bob Dylan: His Unreleased Recordings" (Scorpion/Dark Star, 1978) that the "Roosevelt Gook" who plays piano on all six tracks on side 1 of this album is thought to be Bob, so these tracks were included when the site was set up in 1997. However, both Tom Rush in an Oct 1999 interview and Al Kooper in his book "Back Stage Passes & Backstabbing Bastards" (Billboard Books, New York, 1998) say that the person using this pseudonym was actually Al Kooper. Al Kooper is credited with playing electric guitar and celesta as well as co-production on this album (as illustrated below from the rear sleeve), and apparently wanted a separate fee rather than just a payment for "doubling up"! These tracks are therefore included here for completeness. (Bob names a companion as "Roosevelt Gook" during a phone-in on the Bob Fass Show, WBAI radio, New York, 26 Jan 1966, and Clinton Heylin says this was definitely Al Kooper.) Details of this album and subsequent releases of the songs are now listed in Red Herrings.

"Roosevelt Gook" also appears on the 1968 album The Live Adventures Of Mike Bloomfield & Al Kooper, and was again thought to be Bob Dylan, also see Red Herrings.

Hans Seegers has these LPs in his possession with catalogue numbers CSM 523 (mono) and CSS 523 (stereo), John Z ("Zuke") has CSS 523 as part of a 5LP boxed set Zenith Salute To Stereo. In his article on Bob's appearances on compilation LPs in "The Bridge" Alan Hoaksey gives the catalogue numbers as CLP 523 (mono) and CSP 523 (stereo), however I have found no examples of these. The mono version of the LP obviously doesn't have this rarity. For a 1962 Zenith sponsored compilation album featuring Bob, Zenith Presents... All Star Hootenanny, mono - CLP 149, see the Various Artist Compilations page of Mono Album Releases/stereo - CSP 149, see International Compilations: Various Artist Albums 1962-69.
