Notes

The instrumentation above is taken from Griffin, but are essentially unknown in the sense that all involved musicians were multi-instrumentalists and no written documentation remains.

Lines notes below refer to THE BASEMENT TAPES COMPLETE liner notes.

1-10, 13, 14, 18-23, 43, 45, 49, 51, 53, 69, 70, 73, 79, 97-100 started circulating among collectors September-October 1992.

3 Written by Hank Williams and Hiriam Hank Williams according liner notes.

4 Has circulated as Still In Love With You.

5 circulated as two separate tracks earlier, but combined to one track in THE BASEMENT TAPES COMPLETE.

6 Griffin. page 160, does not mention this take.

9 title is Bells Of Rhymney according to liner notes.

10, 11 Griffin, page 152, combines these two takes.

13 Has circulated as both You Gotta Quit Kickin’ My Dog Around (Every Time I Go To Town) by Gid Tanner and They Gotta Quit Kickin’ My Dawg Aroun’ by Webb M. Oungt and Cy Perkins. The liner notes has this as a traditional song, not arranged by Bob Dylan.

10, 11 Griffin, page 152, combines these two takes. Because of the splitting into two takes on THE BASEMENT TAPES COMPLETE there are missing some guitar strumming and a 10 seconds chat on keys the song is played in.

14, 15 The liner notes has this as a song written by Bob Dylan only. Griffin, page 155 has thee original title See You Later Alligator written by one Robert Charles Guidry, later appearing under the artist name Bobby Charles. Please refer to Baker, page 313. Some 10 seconds at the start are missing on THE BASEMENT TAPES COMPLETE where someone from The Band obviously first comes up with Allen Ginsberg in the first place.

16, 42, 44, 46-48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58- 68, 71, 72, 74- 78, 95 were used as Big Ben music demos.

24 Has twelve “new” seconds in the beginning compared to previously circulated version. See Griffin, page 143.

28 The liner notes has this as a song written by Donald I. Robertson and Walter E. Rollins. Griifin, page 142 has Don Robertson and Jack Rollins, which are also the composer names on the Hank Snow record label pictured in Barker, page 157.

29 The liner notes credit this song to Benjamin Lee Blankenship, who has written a song with this name, but is it the song played here? Barker, page 33, thinks that this was recorded during the Red Room sessions.

30 The previously circulating version is shorter, circa 30 seconds.

31 Has circulated as Lock Up Your Door.

32 Has circulated as Won't You Be My Baby.

34 This is not the Carole King song!

38 Also called The Hills Of Mexico and Buffalo Skinners. Griffin, page 137 and Barker. Page 360.

41 Griffin has two takes of this song, take one is only a minute and take two, marked as “new” is 2:38, but the take here is much shorter, 1:41.

46 Called just I'm Not There in the liner notes.

48, 49 Called just Crash On The Levee in the liner notes.

50, 51 Exclamation mark is missing in the liner notes.

52, 56, 72, 75 have instruments added on the official release THE BASEMENT TAPES.

69 might be from the Wittenburg Road sessions.

79 This is take two and it is the same version that has been circulating, but much longer.

92, 101 This song is also called 900 Miles From My Home (liner notes) or 900 Miles From Home or Nine Hundred Miles From Home or Nine Hundred Miles (Griffin, page 144).

93 This take 2 with piano.

97 This song has circulated as Chilly Winds.

99, 100 This song has circulated as Luisa.

101 is an alternate take that is part of a hidden track on CD 6 of THE BASEMENT TAPES COMPLETE.

102 is take 1 and is unreleased and not in circulation. Griffinp, page 212.
