get 'em here...before they all disappear


Big O says......
"BOB DYLAN
Emmett Grogan Acetates [Capricorn CR-2055, 1CD]

Studio outtakes. Very good to excellent soundboard.
This release from the Capricorn label is fully de-clicked. There are outtakes and alternate mixes from the “Another Side Of Bob Dylan album, plus bonus tracks. - Philip Cohen
Bobsboots.com noted:
The material was taken from acetate, but there is little white noise pop to indicate this. The tracks are perfectly quiet. For the most part, the material sounds as if it is the exact mix as on the official release, but the engineer can be heard introducing the songs. All I Really Want To Do has an extra verse, but the gem here is Mr. Tambourine Man. It is a completely different song than what was released. Your Dylan collection has to include this incredible version. It is drawn out with an entirely different laidback feel and different words. Ramblin’ Jack is heard singing along.
Thanks to Phil for sharing the tracks.
Note: A longtime music fan, Philip Cohen was a contributor to the now-defunct ICE Magazine and compiled the boxsets for The Yardbirds, The Small Faces, Humble Pie and Nice."

Mr Cohen is a legend amongst bootleggers and I have gone on about him severally, nuff said....this source is Hot Tamales! 

 Enjoy! I know I am...........
