Mr. Tambourine Man (stereo mix)* [Never Before]
This is a much more interesting listen than the original 1967 comp Columbia did. As was custom, I included the most recent single at the top of the running order. We move chronologically backward; starting over to kick off side B with "Rock N' Roll Star". Little differences aside from the tracklist, include the Younger Than Yesterday remake of "Why" and a (then) previously unreleased version of "She Don't Care About Time" with producer Terry Melcher adding some 'Satisfaction' sounding licks on the piano and drummer Michael Clarke adding a harmonica solo behind McGuinn's Bach-ian guitar break. I made my attempt at a duo-phonic fix of "Tambourine Man"---but you can use the stereo mix from wherever, really!
I am biased towards Gene, would include "The World Turns Around Her",but a great list!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it was like pulling teeth not to include that one. Just a lot of great material!
