Subject: Re: The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan Outtakes Part III
Okay, here is the last part about my reasoning concerning the
recording dates of the "Freewheelin Bob Dylan" takes and outtakes.
---------------------------------
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.
8th session:
April 23, 1963
Columbia Recording Studio A, New York City
1. Girl Of The North Country CO78487 Take 1 C
2. Girl Of The North Country Take 2 C
according to Michael Krogsgaard, take 2 was released on "The
Freewheelin' Bob Dylan"
3. Masters Of War CO78488 Take 1 b
4. Masters Of War Take 2 b
5. Masters Of War Take 3 C
according to M.K., take 3 was released on "Freewheelin"
6. Walls Of Red Wing CO78489 Take 1 b
7. Walls Of Red Wing Take 2 b
8. Walls Of Red Wing Take 3 C
according to M.K., take 3 was released on "The Bootleg Series 1-3"
9. Talking World War III Blues CO78490 Take 1 b
10.Talking World War III Blues Take 2 b
11.Talking World War III Blues Take 3 b
12.Talking World War III Blues Take 4 b
13.Talking World War III Blues Take 5 C
according to M.K., take 5 was released on "The Freehweelin"
14. Bob Dylan's Dream CO78491 Take 1 C
15. Bob Dylan's Dream Take 2 C
according to M.K., take 2 was released on "Freewheelin"
16. Girl Of The North Country CO78487 Take 3 b
17. Girl Of The North Country Take 4 C
18. Girl Of The North Country Take 5 b
19. Girl Of The North Country Take 6 C
as far as I know, none of these takes were released or circulated
20. Masters Of War CO78488 Take 4 b
21. Masters Of War Take 5 C
22. Masters Of War Take 6 C
as far as I know, none of these takes were released or circulated

Thanks to Michael Krogsgaard's great research, I guess a lot of
questions about the recording dates of the "Freewheelin' Bob Dylan"
takes and outtakes are clarified. Nevertheless, some things are still
in question, at least for me. But I hope - sooner or later - we will
have the opportunity to hear some more or even all the recorded takes,
not only for to clear remaining questions about recording dates,
takes, and the backing of some songs but for to HEAR those songs
I deeply love and which are soaked from the work and soul of some
other great people and artists like Woody Guthrie, Hank Williams,
Robert Johnson, Memphis Minnie, Lonnie Johnson, John Steinbeck and
many more.
But back to the statistics:
