If you can hook me up with a vinyl copy of freewheelin with the electric tracks on it I could flick NZ$5 your way, might be worth as much as $100 of your US dollars.

Does anyone have a prospective tracklisting? I'm not that familiar with all the stuff that came out that year.

Digital vinyl.

Reggie could you change the title of newbies from "Anonymous" to "Fragile ego" to protect them from Don's harassment.

They can request to join the big boys when they grow a pair.

Hey Paul: Here's the original tracklisting. Last I saw, sealed original pressings of the stereo version were going for around $40k US, or about 2,000 kiwis.

Side one
1 Blowin' in the Wind
2 Solid Road (Rocks And Gravel)
3 A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall
4 Down the Highway
5 Bob Dylan's Blues
6 Let Me Die In My Footsteps

Side two
7 Don't Think Twice, It's All Right
8 Gamblin' Willie's Dead Man's Hand
9 Oxford Town
10 Corrina, Corrina
11 Talkin' John Birch Society Blues
12 Honey, Just Allow Me One More Chance
13 I Shall Be Free

They weren't necessarily "electric" tracks; in fact, to my memory none were.* Track 11 was pulled because the corporate wonks at CBS feared lawsuits from the John Birch Society; not sure about the rest. At any rate, I have a file of how it would have played...but no better than what you could pull together yourself. I wasn't going to pay Reggie 50 kiwis for the digital vinyl, so I faked it.

I imagine A-1 could ask his colleagues or Mr. Dylan for the real thing.

*Correction: I just listened, and "Rocks and Gravel" is indeed electric. The rest are just Bob.

If I get 50 Kiwis from you OP, I'll be worth ... 50 Kiwis!!

50 kiwis would buy you entire town I live in...it was a one horse town until they realised it was a donkey...etc Smile

That's the one Sudsman, I remember reading about it years ago and how it was quickly withdrawn. I had thought it had mixed-up confusion on it, not rocks and gravel. That five bucks is still on offer....

I can probably put that together with the stuff I have. Wikipedia list 23 out-takes from freewheelin - putting all that together would make a nice anniversary version for that album next year. (Willard posted the reference recording series that has anything that's not on the Bootleg Series)

Why would anyone want 50 flightless birds?

Do they taste like frog's legs?

You know how they always say "It tastes like chicken"? Guess what chicken tastes like? In Britain the chicken lay eggs, in New Zealand the Kiwi lay kiwi fruit.

It's a little known fact that kiwifruit is poisonous to kiwi, in much the same way that chocolate is poisonous to dogs.

Scientists have theorised that this is why the kiwi gave up its wings - to avoid the temptation of the furry little fruit on the vines.

Scientists have theorised that this is why Anonymous One developed arthritis - to avoid the temptation of sewing outfits for his collection of 25000 Barbie dolls.

The CrankyBastard forum is truly at its' best when discussing Steak Sauce.

We may not have him to kick around anymore. It's possible that I ran him off into the hills with my last outburst. He hasn't posted since Sunday noon.

All I can hope for is that some rock demi-god like Boz Scaggs kicks the bucket. I'm not sure that he can resist the temptation to stop by and tell us about the time they got drunk and dressed a donkey up as Carly Simon's maternal grandmother.

So who are you gonna kick now?

What's the story about Carly Simon's maternal grandmother having sex with a donkey?
