There were more flubs there, but I edited them out. Then the first take ended shortly after the chorus, so I stitched in the rest of the song from the second take. I simply edited out the flubs to make it sound like he got it right the first time. But when he got to the chorus, he flubbed the chords like five times, starting it again each time. Dylan made it through the first verse fine. Unfortunately, the song was cut in two on the official "Cutting Edge" version. This is a very nice song, with Dylan using a sound and voice similar to his country-ish "Nashville Skyline" era a few years later. "I Can't Leave Her Behind" needed much more editing. I decided there was no good way to fix that, so I left the end as it is. But the song came to a sudden end after just a little over two minutes. Dylan makes it through the song without any flubs or stops, and the sound quality is pretty good. The first song, "What Kind of Friend Is This," is fairly unedited by me. I also tried to eliminate the many flubs and coughs and the like. So what I've done is stitch the different performances together to get the best Dylan versions of these songs we'll probably ever have. (I didn't include one original song,"If You Want My Love," because the sound quality is so bad and hissy.) But also, the songs were brand new at the time, and Dylan generally didn't play them all the way through successfully, because didn't know them well yet. For starters, the recording quality ranges from okay to terrible. However, there are problems with the recordings. So these songs were left behind, and the only records we have of them are from these hotel room tapes. No doubt, most or all of them would have been included on Dylan's follow-up album to his classic "Blonde on Blonde." Except Dylan got in a motorcycle accident later in 1966, and in the wake of that he decided to do in a very different musical (and personal) direction. Most of these 1966 songs are really interesting. I'm only dealing here with the second half, which is of songs Dylan did in two hotel rooms in 1966, with guitarist Robbie Robertson accompanying him. The first half consists of duets with Joan Baez done in 1965. You could buy it in various formats, but only if you bought the 18 (!) CD version would you get any of the songs on the 18th CD, which contains various raw and low-hi recordings made of Dylan in hotels in 19. In 2015, the archival Dylan album "The Bootleg Series, Vol. I'll present these songs as part of a 1966 stray tracks album later, but I want to highlight them here while the edits I made are still fresh in my mind. Before I could tackle his 1965 to 1966 period though, I wanted to make some song edits to his 1966 "hotel room tapes," and now I have. I've got a ton more Dylan stuff to post, and I'm trying to move through it all chronologically. So far, I've mostly posted early Bob Dylan material, from 1961 to 1964.
