Rick, this my my response to a similar request over 2 years ago. (my file was
dated 31 Jan 1994). In hindsite I may change some minor details but it is still
essentiall accurate.

This was the important clue. If we accept that the 'Bootleg series'
liner notes are 'moderately' accurate then "70086" fits in with
'House Carpenter', and the rest of it all falls into place.
Finally 'Series of Dreams' issue 7 reviews the FWOT CD.
Unfortunately this article has introduced a few bits of miss-information
about the Freewheelin O/T's. I'll adddress them here.
The track listing has been misprinted, hopefully this post will sort
that bit out.
Secondly, the 'missing' tracks are not: 'Down the Highway' & 'Honey just..'
as these *were* officially released on the LP/CD.
There are a few missing tracks:
The different mix of 'Lonesome Whistle', and almost all
the 6th December session (8 tracks).
(not surprising as these were circulated after the CD was made I expect).
The earlier article:
The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan Outtakes is a CD with a number of
questions left unanswered.
Would anyone care to comment on the session attributions
(especially tracks 3, 6, 9, 14-17)?

of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (1963). For track 25 cf T-231.
All tracks mono except: 13, 17, 18, 21 in stereo.
Tracks 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19, 24 are from acetate sources,
presumably Columbia Recording Studio's Reference Recordings.
All of these tracks would appear to come from four sessions
[019], [023], [027] and [029]. Precise attributions are not
easy to ascertain. The two listings of the tracks have tiny
unimportant differences in some small details.
Track 14 - Sally Girl - is listed by both Krogsgaard and
Vigotone as originating from the October 1962 [027] session.
However, on the recording the song is introduced as "70086
take 4". According to Krogsgaard the sessions occurring on
24 and 25 April 1962 [019] includes catalogue numbers Co.
70100-3, Co. 70100-4, Co. 70101-1, and Co. 70101-2. The next
earlier catalogue numbers listed by Krogsgaard are Co.
68743-2 and Co. 68745-3 on 22 November 1961 [011].
"How many roads must a man walk down...
Bob Dylan has walked down many roads. For most of his 22
years he "rode freight trains for kicks and got beat up for
laughs, cut grass for quarters and sang for dimes." And his
songs today are the sounds he sopped up all those years on
the road -- "the coyote's call and the train whistle's moan,
the ol' time pals an' first run gals, the faces you can't
find again." [Does anyone know the source of this quote?]
Bob does what a true folk singer is supposed to do -- sing
about the important ideas and events of the times. And he
does it better than anybody else.
The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan Outtakes features seven of Bob's
own compositions, including both sides of his rare debut
single. Also classic interpretations of songs by icons
Robert Johnson, Hank Williams, and Elvis Presley. Includes
four songs in stereo and additional bonus tracks featuring
noteworthy alternate takes.
Hear it and you'll know why Bob Dylan is the voice of the
times."
csmsaxs@mvs.oac.ucla.edu (Arnie Stodolsky):
A great sounding CD. The studio tracks are all excellent and
(haven't A-B'ed them yet with other boots) are better than
anything else I've heard. The acetates are very good but
sound like acetates, i.e. surface noise.
The artwork is excellent too. The front piece is a picture
of Dylan and Suze Rotolo, arm in arm with Dylan pointing off
to the right. Seemingly this is an alternate picture from
the Freewheelin' album shooting. No one seems to have seen
this one before. The back piece has a studio session picture
of Dylan and John Hammond.
What else can I say, if you like this era, this is the best
that's out on CD that I'm aware of. This will be a classic
boot, up there with Manchester Prayer [T-120]. Unless you
already have this material in excellent sound (and I would
still give this an audition) don't pass it up, I don't think
it will be around long."
Let Me Die In My Footsteps (11) is available as a released
version with one less verse on the promotional edition of
The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (1963) and on The Bootleg Series
(1991).

From: Andreas Schmal
Subject: Re: The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan Outtakes Part 1
Hello,
following my thoughts about the recording dates of the takes and
outtakes of "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" sessions.
All is primarly based on Michael Krogsgaard's articles
"Bob Dylan: The Recording Sessions" in "The Telegraph".
Because of the lenght of this "analysis", I've divided it in several
parts. This is only the first part. The other parts will follow if
there is any interest in this thing.
Let me say that I'm not very good in English, so it may be that you
will find some very unusual formulations.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ANY QUESTIONS; CORRECTIONS, AND FURTHER INFORMATIONS ARE MORE THAN
WELCOME
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For identifying the outtakes, I'm always referring to the CD
VIGOTONE, VIGO 115, "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan Outtakes"
note:
In the following, when I wrote
"take x IS track y on Vigotone",
it is always meant as
"I THINK take x COULD BE track y on Vigotone".
_______________________________________
"The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" sessions: some assumptions on recording
dates for the released takes and the unreleased but circulating takes.
Based on Michael Krogsgaard's examinations in the Archives of Sony
Records in New York City in 1995.
First session:
April 24, 1962
Columbia Recording Studio A, New York City
1. Going To New Orleans (trad.) CO70085 Take 1 C (C=complete)
2. Going To New Orleans (trad.) Take 2 C
one of these takes is track 10 on Vigotone
(because this song wasn't recorded on any other "Freewheelin'"
session. Glen Dundas (in: "Tangled Up In Tapes") and Clinton Heylin
(in: "Behind The Shades", reprinted with a revised sessionagraphy
1992) dated this track - before Krogsgaard's examinations were
published in "The Telegraph" - on April 24/25)
3. Sally Gal (Bob Dylan) CO70086 Take 1 C
4. Sally Gal (Bob Dylan) Take 2 C
5. Sally Gal (Bob Dylan) Take 3 C
one of these takes is track 25 on Vigotone
(because you can hear someone playing a bass on this track. According
to M. Krogsgaard on April 24, some or most of the takes were backed by
a bass player - probably William E. Lee. On April 25 - when Sally Gal
was also recorded - no bass player was involved in the recording
session. Therefore, track 25 on vigotone must be from April 24.
Dundas dated this track on April 24/25)
6. Rambling, Gambling Willie CO70087 Take 1 C
7. Rambling, Gambling Willie Take 2 B (B=long false start)
8. Rambling, Gambling Willie Take 3 C
9. Rambling, Gambling Willie Take 4 C
according to M.Krogsgaard, take 4 was released on "The Bootleg Series
1- 3" and on the promotional edition of "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan".
(I found no informations about Michael Krogsgaard's release
informations, but he had seen all the relevant material. Both Dundas
and Sony (liner notes to "The Bootleg Serie 1-3") dated this track on
April 24.)
10. Corrina, Corrina (trad.; ?) CO70088 Take 1 C
11. Corrina, Corrina (Trad.; ?) CO70088 Take 2 C
one of these takes is track 2 on Vigotone.
(Because the next time this song was recorded - on October 26, there
was a full band backing. On Vigotone's track 2 there is no band
backing. Therefore: April 24. Dundas dated this track on July 9 but
according to Krogsggaard, there was no recording of this song on July
9. I don't know if this song is really a "traditional" because some
lyrics look like Robert Johnson's and it seems to be a Bob Dylan
arrangement. Bob Dylan said about Corrina,Corrina "this is pretty
much Lonnie Johnson" or something like that in the liner notes of
"Biograph". Did he eventually mean the tune? What Lonnie Johnson
song could be meant?)
12. The Death Of Emmett Till CO70089 Take 1 C
this take is track 3 on Vigotone.
(Because this song wasn't recorded on any other "Freewheelin'"
session. According to Michael Krogsgaard, this take was also released
on the promotional edition of "Freewheelin'". Dundas dated this track
on April 24/25).
13. Talking John Birch Paranoid Blues CO70090 Take 1 B
14. Talking John Birch Paranoid Blues Take 2 B
15. Talking John Birch Paranoid Blues Take 3 C
take 3 is track 6 on Vigotone
(Because there was no other complete recording of this song as part
of the "Freewheelin'" sessions. According to Krogsgaard take 3 was
released on the promotional edition of "Freewheelin'". Dundas dated
this track on April 24/25)
16. (I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle CO70091 Take 1 B
(Hank Williams/Jimmie Davies)
17. (I heard That) Lonesome Whistle Take 2 C
(Hank Williams/Jimmie Davies)
take 2 is track 5 on Vigotone
(Because there was no other complete recording of this song as part
of the "Freewheelin'" Sessions. Dundas dated this track on April
24/25. Most likely, Bob Dylan is backed on this track by William E.
Lee, because - according to Clinton Heylin - in the june 1980 edition
of "Goldmine", this track was advertised "Lonesome Whistle Blues
(with string bass)". As far as I know there are two different mixes
of this take in circulation, one featuring the string bass, the other
not)
Second session:
April 25, 1962
Columbia Recordings Studio A, New York City, New York
1. Rocks And Gravel (trad, arr. Bob Dylan, ?) CO70096 Take 1 b
2. Rocks And Gravel Take 2 b
3. Rocks And Gravel Take 3 C
Take 3 is track 09 on Vigotone
(because the next time this song was recorded - on November, 1 -
there was a full band backing a la Elvis Presley's "Sun-Studio-
Recordings" in 1954/1955. However, on track 09 there is no band
backing. Therefore: April 25.)
4. Let Me Die In my Footsteps CO70097 Take 1 C
this take was released on "The Bootleg Series 1-3" with one verse cut.
The unedited version is track 11 on Vigotone
(because this song wasn't recorded on any other "Freewheelin'"
session. Both Dundas and Sony dated this track on April 25)
5. Talking Havah Negeilah Blues CO70098 Take 1 C
according to M.K., this take was released on "The Bootleg Series 1-3"
(because this song wasn't recorded on any other "Freewheelin" session.
6. Sally Gal CO70086 Take 4 C
7. Sally Gal CO70086 Take 5 C
Take 4 is track 14 on Vigotone
(because this track is introduced as "CO70086 take four" on
VIGOTONE's CD. Dundas dated this track on April 24/25).
8. Baby, Please Don't Go (Big Joe Williams) CO70099 Take 1 C
9. Baby, Please Don't Go Take 2 b =short
false start
10.Baby, Please Don't Go Take 3 C
Take 1 or take 3 is track 01 on Vigotone.
(because this song wasn't recorded on any other "Freewheelin'"
session. Dundas dated this track on April 24/25)
11. Milk Cow's Calf's Blues CO70100 Take 1 C
(Robert Johnson et al.)
12. Milk Cow's Calf's Blues Take 2 b
13. Milk Cow's Calf's Blues Take 3 C
Take 3 is track 07 on Vigotone
(because - according to Clinton Heylin - in the June 1980 edition of
"Goldmine", this track was advertised as "Milk Cow Blues - Take 3".
Dundas dated this track on April 24/25)
14. Wichita (Going To Louisiana) (trad.) CO70101 Take 1 C
This take is track 22 on Vigotone.
(because - according to Clinton Heylin - in the June 1980 edition of
"Goldmine", this track was advertised as "Wichita Blues - Take 1".
Dundas dated this track on April 24/25)
15. Talking Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues CO70102 Take 1 B
16. Talking Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues Take 2 B
17. Talking Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues Take 3 C
According to M.Krogsgaard, take 3 was released on "The Bootleg Series
1-3".
(Both Dundas ans Sony dated this track on April 25.)
18. Milk Cow's Calf's Blues CO70100 Take 4 C
(Robert Johnson et al.)
This take is track 21 on Vigotone.
(because - according to Clinton Heylin - in the June 1980 edition of
"Goldmine", this track was advertised as "Milk Cow Blues - Take 4".
Dundas dated this track on April 24/25)
19. Wichita (going To Louisiana) (trad.) CO70101 Take 2 C
This take is track 13 on Vigotone.
(because - according to C.Heylin - in the June 1980 edition of
"Goldmine", this track was advertised as "Wichita Blues - Take 2".
Dundas dated this track on April 24/25)

>***********************************
Clinton Heylin mentioned in his great book "Stolen Moments" a "late
October 1962" session including the following songs: "Lonesome
Whistle", "Sally Gal", "Going To New Orleans", "John Birch Society
Blues", and "Rambling, Gambling Willie". In (one of) his following
book(s), "Behind The Shades", Mr. Heylin redated all these songs on
April 24/25. Michael Krogsgaard's research has not only confirmed
that, but allowed to say, which song was recorded on April 24 and
which one was recorded on April 25.
