  2. The one remaining non-album single that I've been looking for. Well, not actively, but this is a pleasant surprise that landed in my inbox.

    I've managed to get Positively 4th Street (easy grab with the recent 2010 Best of the Mono comp) and Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window (taken from the remaster of the Biograph box set). If memory serves me right, then this is the last mono rarity remaining not available on the Original Mono Recordings box set (unless you want to count that Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues live version with The Band, haha).

    Thanks for the hard work, prof. I'll be sure to enjoy this.

  6. Many thanks for this gem. "If You Gotta Go, Go Now" is the only mono 60s single still not circulating in original HR_VR.

  7. After having over a week to listen to this, I gotta say this ain't really Bob Dylan's best work. It has that "huffy vocal quality" to it that turned me off from his self-titled debut. This is part of the reason why I prefer listening to the B-side, even if it is an alt. take!

    And thus, apologies for only meeting my promise half-way, heheh.

  8. As Dylan pointed out in the linernotes of the Biograph box, Mixed-Up Confusion wasn't really his idea and supposedly he quickly pieced it together in the back of the cab on his way to the recording session. AFAIK it is the first recording in which he appears with a band.

  9. FYI...my transfers of "If You Gotta Go" and the rare, alternate "Window" can be found on the compilation "Solid Road".

  11. Thanks! Your recent Buffalo Springfield transfers are a revelation! Good job figuring out which pressings are which...something I'm not particularly good at without help. The Cream LP sounds great too!

  13. Hah, can't believe what I said a few months ago about my dislike of this single. Seems like time can melt my heart. I actually like it now!

    Related to this, I got a chance to listen to the Bob Dylan Mono box over Christmas. Gee, for a 20 year old, Bob's debut is actually a pretty good one. It's a shame it was ignored, though that ended up giving us Freewheelin', so there's that. Kinda freaky how you can track how much Bob's voice changes from his first all the way to JWH...

  22. Fantastic! I used to own the dutch 45 of this as a youth and played it as loud as possible on my little mono Dansette record player.
