Bob plays harmonica on five tracks recorded Sep 1961. I'm informed by Rob van Estrik that the album has not only been remastered, but also remixed, so that Bob's harmonica contribution on R-0002/3/4 is now more prominent than on the original album.
R-0002-6 I'll Fly Away (Albert E. Brumley)
(stereo version)
For a complete list of the compilations on which this track has appeared, also
see 1962.
R-0222 I'll Fly Away (Albert E. Brumley)
- alternate take, previously unreleased
R-0003-2 Come Back, Baby (traditional) (stereo version)
R-0223 Come Back, Baby (traditional)
- alternate take, previously unreleased
Thanks to Jean-Pol Hiernaux for pointing out this version is 2:45 and has at the
end a noise like an acoustic guitar being knocked and a male voice. The version
of this alternate take on the Bear Family Germany 2CD compilation Dear
Companion (R-0312, see 1995) is edited at 2:40 and
omits the noise and the voice.
R-0004-5 Swing And Turn
Jubilee (traditional)
(stereo version)
For a complete list of the compilations on which this track has appeared, also
see 1962.
Jack from Canada has a promo copy of this CD released to radio stations. It has a hole punched through the rear insert obscuring the barcode, and a sticker from MJI Broadcasting Inc. My copy was bought on a visit to the USA in 1994.
Paul Shenton's copy is identical to mine except that the front has no stickers and the CD is missing the "DIDP" number to the right of the centre hole. The "DIDP" number (Digital Identification Popular) is a code used by Sony DADC (Digital Audio Disc Corporation) on CDs pressed in Terre Haute, IN, or one of their other CD plants in the USA, from 1983 onwards (Classical CDs had "DIDC"). It's not present on this CD, which probably means that it was manufactured at another CD pressing plant in the USA or even Mexico under contract from Columbia.
Thanks to Ian Woodward for information and to Jean-Pol Hiernaux, Arie de Reus, Jack from Canada and Paul Shenton for further information and pictures.

It comes in a card sleeve with the photo from Greatest Hits Vol. 3 and the CD was again made in Austria. The front of Hans Seeger's copy has a red sticker with a release date of "16/1" which may mean 16 Jan 1995 (the album was released on 15 Nov 1994. John Fitzgerald informs me he has an un-numbered UK CD-R test pressing of R-0238 with a white label saying "Whitfield Recording Studios", with "Bob Dylan" and "Dignity" typewritten (not shown). |

R-0231 You Belong To Me (Pee Wee King/Red Stewart/Chilton Price)
- recorded during the Good As I Been To You
sessions in Summer 1992, the song segues into dialogue from the film and
is incomplete
This was one of the songs listed as being on the hoax album Stormy Season, details of which circulated round the Internet in October 1996, see my Directory of Unreleased Dylan Songs, page S - Dylan fans hoped that a complete version would be released! You Belong To Me was previously a big hit for Patti Page (#1), Jo Stafford (#7) and Dean Martin (#12) in 1952. Many other artists have also recorded it.
Harold Lepidus adds: "There was also a promo only "edited" version of the CD for in-store play (I believe) with generic packaging including the Dylan track. All potentially offensive material (i.e. Patti Smith's Rock & Roll Nigger) were removed. (The "offensive" dialogue over the end of the Dylan track remained.)" The CD came in a standard jewel case with no rear insert and is edited to 1:06:16.

The first of these radio station discs has a cue sheet dated 27 Jun 1994, and the broadcast dates on the other sheets and all three CDs are for July 1994, so these programmes were aired before the 1994 Woodstock Festival took place. This explains why they contain excerpts of Dylan album tracks and previous interviews. CDs 1, 5 and 6 had no Dylan content.
CD2 (week of 10 Jul 1994) includes excerpts of Like A Rolling Stone from Highway 61 Revisited and Positively 4th Street from Greatest Hits. It also includes an interview with Bob about performing on stage.
CD3 (week of 17 Jul 1994) includes excerpts of I Want You from Blonde on Blonde and Positively 4th Street from Greatest Hits. It also includes an Interview with Bob.
CD4 (week of 24 Jul 1994) includes excerpts of I Want You and Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 from Blonde on Blonde. This disc does not include an interview with Bob, but does include interviews with Steve Cropper and George Harrison talking about Bob.
I have not allocated R-numbers to these excerpts. For other releases relating to Woodstock '94, see below, 1995 and VHS & DVD 1990-94.

the original Woodstock such as Jimi Hendrix. Bob's contribution is on CD 3
of 5, and is from a completely different place and time! He didn't appear
at the original Woodstock, but he did appear at "Woodstock '94",
see below.

The picture of Bob with Allen Ginsberg during the Rolling Thunder Revue tour in 1975 is by Ellie Dorfman, and first appeared on Allen Ginsberg's US John Hammond Records 2LP set First Blues, see 1983.
R-0224 A Dream
(William Blake/Allen Ginsberg) (5:06) - recorded Nov 1971, Bob plays guitar and
contributes vocals to this poem by William Blake set to music
R-0159-2 Vomit Express (Allen
Ginsberg/Bob Dylan) (6:32) - recorded Nov 1971, Bob plays guitar and
contributes vocals (Glen Dundas credits Bob as co-author, but the
set booklet doesn't)
First released on Allen Ginsberg's US John Hammond Records 2LP set First Blues,
see
1983. Now re-released on a seven track
limited edition vinyl sampler from First Blues from Ginsberg Recordings
in 2013.
R-0235 September On
Jessore Road (Allen Ginsberg/Bob Dylan) (10:34) - recorded at the
Record Plant, New York, 9-17 Nov 1971,
Bob plays piano, organ, acoustic and electric guitars
(again Glen Dundas credits Bob as co-author, but
the set booklet doesn't).
|
|
Larry Crum says: "The first verse and last two
lines of the song are from the 1983 recording without Bob with some
instruments overdubbed. Although the lyrics of the first two verses are the
same as R-0225*, the recordings are definitely different. Instruments
include, among others, bass, French horn and definitely Bob's piano and
organ overdubs and per the credits, guitar as well with Bob's first guitar
removed from the mix." *R-0225 is the excerpt of this song which appeared on a Sing Out! magazine flexi-disc (see 1972). |
|
 Omnivore Records 7 DVCD-175 (USA, 2016) - front of my sealed copy with sticker (includes R-1650) |
The version of September On Jessore Road that appears on Allen Ginsberg's Omnivore Records 3CD boxed set The Last Word On "First Blues" (R-1650, see 2016) is yet another take. Larry Crum again says: "This version has completely different lyrics from the other two versions. The liner notes state that "Just a few minutes of this epic were included in the Holy Soul Jelly Roll box set, but there producer Hal Wilner chose to fade it out early, blending it into a version that was recorded for the September On Jessore Road album in 1983." This must be a mistake! The instruments are also very different - acoustic guitars, minor chords. The credits in the booklet are for the entire session and include Bob on guitar, vocals, piano, organ but there is no piano or organ on this take."
R-0226 Airplane Blues (Allen
Ginsberg/Bob Dylan) (4:26) - recorded Rundown
Studios, Santa Monica, CA, Jan 1982, Bob plays bass
In the liner notes to Allen Ginsberg's Omnivore Records 3CD set
The Last Word On "First Blues",
see 2016, producer Pat Thomas says that the
released version is without Bob, despite the fact he's credited in this set's
booklet. However, two versions were recorded, the first without Bob and the
second with Bob. The two circulating takes are timed elsewhere as 5:29 and 4:22, so this
corresponds to the second take, with Bob. Pat Thomas also says he chose not to
release the second version with Bob on the bonus disc with
The Last Word On "First Blues"!
There are two versions of Nurse's Song (William Blake/Allen Ginsberg) on CD3 - Nurse's Song (Experience) (track 9, 2:07) and Nurse's Song (Innocence) (track 21, 7:12). Nurse's Song was one of the songs recorded at the sessions in Nov 1971, but Larry Crum says the versions included here are both without Bob. Nurse's Song (R-1648) appears on Allen Ginsberg's Omnivore Records 3CD set The Last Word On "First Blues", see 2016, and this is indeed a version with Bob. Another version of Nurse's Song performed by Allen Ginsberg at Gerdes Folk City, NYC, October 23, 1975, was included in the film Renaldo & Clara, see VHS & DVD 1970s.
Do The Meditation Rock (Allen Ginsberg) was one of the songs recorded at Rundown Studios, Santa Monica, CA, 23 Feb 1982, with Bob playing bass, but Larry Crum again says the version on CD4 (4:03) was recorded in 1989 without Bob. The version of Do The Meditation Rock that appears on Allen Ginsberg's Omnivore Records 3CD boxed set The Last Word On "First Blues", (R-1651, see 2016), is the Feb 1982 version with Bob.
