| ONE MAN’S LOSS | Bonnie Dodd or Bob Dylan?, 1967 | H |
| Basement Tapes song recorded with The Band, Big Pink, West Saugerties, NY, July-September 1967. Some attribute this song to Bonnie Dodd, not Bob.

Thanks to Tim Dunn for searching fruitlessly for the copyright information for this song, which has been copyrighted neither by Bonnie Dodd nor Bob | ||
