R-1004 Recorded live at the Gaslight Café, New York, 15 Oct 1962, released on the Sony Music Europe 4CD set The 50th Anniversary Collection, Dec 2012

Ain't That Loving You (Deadric Malone)

R-0151 Bob is reputed to play on this track on the Sir Douglas Band's Atlantic album Texas Tornado, 1973

Airplane Blues (Allen Ginsberg)

R-0226 Bob plays bass on this track recorded Rundown Studios, Santa Monica, CA, Jan 1982 (4:26), from Allen Ginsberg's 1994 Rhino Word Beat boxed set Holy Soul Jelly Roll: Poems And Songs 1949-1993, see 1994
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 on Holy Soul Jelly Roll is without Bob, despite the fact he's credited in the set's booklet. However, two versions were recorded, the first without Bob and the second with Bob. The two circulating takes are 6:29 and 4:22, so this corresponds to the second take. 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"! R-0226 may therefore not be a Dylan rarity.

Larry Crum says this performance is made up of two parts, neither of which are from Glasgow 19 May 1966, as previously attributed. He says: "It is fairly obvious they are recorded at different venues if you look at the microphone setup. The first part (the intro and first verse) is Newcastle 21 May 1966 and the second part (the last chorus and the end) is Edinburgh 20 May 1966."
