"Gotta Serve Somebody"/"Gonna Change My Way Of Thinking" - 7" promo and commercial singles, S CBS 8134 (UK), 18 Jan 1980:

S CBS 8134 (UK) - A-side in generic sleeve, scan by Gerard Germano (promo release)

R-0148-6 Gotta Serve Somebody - edit (3:57) For other worldwide singles and other releases with this edited version of the 5:23 album track from Slow Train Coming, see 1979.

S CBS 8134 (UK) - A-side scan by Hans Seegers (commercial release)

S CBS 8134 (UK) - B-side scan by Hans Seegers (commercial release)

These singles had no picture sleeve and came in the generic CBS UK sleeve illustrated. The promo single is dated 18 Jan 1980.

I had been previously informed that Gotta Serve Somebody is mistakenly listed as being the 3:57 edited version issued on other worldwide singles, but it is in fact the 5:23 full album version! However, Onno Mastenbroek informs me that his copy of the UK promo release of S CBS 8134 does indeed play the edited version (actually timed at 3:52), so I've added it here.

Thanks to Gerard Germano, Hans Seegers and Onno Mastenbroek for information and scans.

Thanks to Lars M. Banke for the information. Thanks to Hans Seegers for further scans and the information that Bob's version is followed immediately by the Byrds' version. Thanks to Peter Schoefboeck for information about a picture disc version sold on eBay for $1000! Hans Seegers was concerned it was a fake, but I'm assured by Scott Neumann of Recordweb Communications that both the black vinyl and picture discs were created at the Pitman plant and the copy sold came from a Pitman employee. The record matrix numbers are: Side 1 - AS 15663-1A, Side 2 - BS 15663-1A. On the black version, these are handwritten, but on the picture disc, they're stamped.

Three copies of the promo single are shown - one with white labels but undated, one with white labels dated "Mar 31 1980" and the third with commercial orange labels (same as the A-side of the first commercial release below). All three are the same on both sides. Hans Seegers has a white label promo single dated "Mar 18 1980".

"Saved" - stereo 8-track tape cartridge release, Columbia FCA 36553 (USA), Jun 1980:

Columbia FCA 36553 (USA) - front of slipcase, scan by T. J. Jenkins

This 8-track release comes in a slipcase with a cut-out in the rear to show the tape contents. For some reason a second occurrence of the title track is split between Programs 3 and 4! Because the two parts of the spilt track are rarities, this release is also listed here as well as in International Album Releases (Regular).

"Solid Rock"/"Covenant Woman" - 7" stereo singles, Columbia 1-11318 (USA/Canada), 2 Jun 1980; CBS BA 222711 (New Zealand), 1980:
Only these three singles from the Saved album were released worldwide, and none had picture sleeves. The A-side is the regular album version from Saved.

"The Goldmine Acetates" - eight Columbia Recording Studios Reference Recordings from the 1960s offered for sale in "Goldmine" magazine (USA), Jun 1980:
R-0009 and R-0010 are listed in the "'Music Master' Price Guide for Record Collectors" by Nick Hamlyn, published by MBC Information Services, London, and were previously included in 1962. Are these acetates mono or stereo? If mono, all the tracks on them are still rarities and some will need new R-numbers.

Percy Song says: "The 1980 Goldmine Acetates may well have been part of an apparently substantial Columbia project undertaken in 1970 called SW63115. Clinton Heylin, in the entry for "Jet Pilot" in his book "Revolution In The Air", describes this as a project to catalogue interesting unused studio material for purposes unknown. The acetate labels are from the right era and at least two of the songs on Acetate 5 have notes on studio documentation that they were pulled to an SW63115 reel. Obviously there is live material on these acetates too but that doesn't necessarily preclude them from being part of the project; it depends how much Clinton was speculating about SW 63115 being apparently only concerned with studio recordings. There may have been some thought being given to including a complete disc of rarities in the upcoming Greatest Hits Vol 2/More Bob Dylan Greatest Hits package. Or maybe there was some thought being given to an official archival release after the success of the Great White Wonder bootleg."

Acetate 1 scan by Percy Song

Acetate 1: R-0386 Red Wing Reform School [The Walls Of Red Wing] (stereo version) - recorded live, Town Hall, New York, 12 Apr 1963 R-0387 All Over You [If I Had To Do It All Over Again (I'd Do It All Over You)] (stereo version), lyrics on bobdylan.com here - recorded live, Town Hall, New York, 12 Apr 1963 R-0388 Who Killed Davey Moore? (stereo version) - recorded live, Town Hall, New York, 12 Apr 1963 The version on The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 is from Carnegie Hall, New York, 26 Oct 1963, and was also on these acetates (see Acetate 4). A mono version of this performance appeared on a UK Emidisc test pressing in 1967, see Questionable Releases. All three of these performances have now appeared on the Columbia/Legacy/Sony Music Europe 6LP set The 50th Anniversary Collection 1963, see 2013.

Notes by Percy Song:

R-0386 Total length 5:44. Includes all the spoken introduction, as per The 50th Anniversary Collection 1963, but with a couple of seconds of additional applause at the end of the song.

R-0387 Total length 4:27. Includes spoken introduction, "Here's a 1930 ragtime tune I just wrote last week..." plus tuning. Also there is several additional seconds of applause at the end of the song compared to The 50th Anniversary Collection 1963. The brief tape damage/flutter at the start of the vocal on the word "had" is evident here, as per The 50th Anniversary Collection 1963.

R-0388 Total Length 3:30. Additional few seconds of applause at the end - otherwise exactly as per The 50th Anniversary Collection 1963.

Stereo separation on these recordings is extreme, with Dylan's voice, harmonica and guitar panned hard to one side with the audience panned hard to the other. On The 50th Anniversary Collection 1963 all the audio is, essentially, centred.

Acetate 2: R-0389 You Gotta Go [If You Gotta Go, Go Now] - live, Philharmonic Hall New York, 31 Oct 1964 (stereo version). This was released in Mar 2004 on The Bootleg Series Vol. 6: Live 1964. R-0390-2 The Gal I Love [Hero Blues] - out-take from The Times They Are A-Changin', recorded at Columbia Studios, New York, 12 Aug 1963 (take 1 or 3), lyrics on bobdylan.com here (mono version) I originally listed this as a Witmark demo from May 1963, but Roger Ford, who has a copy of the acetate, informs me that it is a version with Bob on piano, one of the two complete takes (takes 1 and 3) recorded at Columbia Studios, New York, on 12 Aug 1963 (CO78980), an out-take from The Times They Are A-Changin'. The Witmark demo version which used to circulate unofficially before the release of The Bootleg Series Vol. 9 - The Witmark Demos 1962-1964 in 2010 has Bob on guitar, as do the out-takes from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, recorded at Columbia Studios, New York, on 6 Dec 1962 (CO77020). This version also appeared on early Columbia acetates of the album, see 1964. It also appeared on eBay on a single track acetate in 2007 titled Hero Blues (that acetate is illustrated here).

The out-takes from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, recorded at Columbia Studios, New York, on 6 Dec 1962, appeared on the very limited Sony Music Europe 4CD-R set The 50th Anniversary Collection, see 2012. Take 3 from 12 Aug 1963 appeared on the equally limited Columbia/Legacy/Sony Music Europe 6LP set The 50th Anniversary Collection 1963, see 2013, and is in fact this version.

Track 3 on Acetate 2 was The Walls Of Red Wing, now released on The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 (stereo version).

R-0376-2 Seven Curses - live, Carnegie Hall, New York, 26 Oct 1963 (stereo version), from the cancelled 1964 Columbia album Bob Dylan In Concert, see 1964
Now also released on the Columbia/Legacy/Sony Music Europe 6LP set The 50th Anniversary Collection 1963, see 2013.

Acetate 3:

R-0010 Milk Cow Blues (Robert Johnson - see below) - out-take from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, version 1 (take 3), recorded at Columbia Studios, New York, 25 Apr 1962 (CO70100)
Now released on the Sony Music Europe 4CD set The 50th Anniversary Collection, Dec 2012.

R-0391 Milk Cow Blues (Robert Johnson - see below) - out-take from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, version 2 (take 4), recorded at Columbia Studios, New York, 25 Apr 1962 (CO70100)
Now released on the Sony Music Europe 4CD set The 50th Anniversary Collection, Dec 2012.

Michael Krogsgaard reports the studio records as listing this song as "Milk Cow Calf's Blues" by Robert Johnson. Michael Gray in "Song & Dance Man III" (Cassell, 1999) says: "When Dylan recorded "Milk Cow Blues" (unreleased) in 1962, he used part of Kokomo Arnold's lyric, part of Presley's, part of Robert Johnson's 1937 "Milk Cow's Calf's Blues" and part of Lead Belly's "Good Morning Blues", shuffling the elements around in the course of two takes." (Gray says earlier that although Elvis Presley's Sun version ("Milkcow Blues Boogie") is credited to Kokomo Arnold, it is completely different from Arnold's song, and seems actually to be the version of "Milk Cow Blues" recorded by Johnny Lee Wills in 1941.) According to Krogsgaard there were actually four takes on 25 Apr 1962, take 1 does not circulate, take 2 was incomplete, and these are takes 3 and 4. Take 1 has now been released on the Sony Music Europe 4CD set The 50th Anniversary Collection, Dec 2012.

R-0392 Wichita Blues (Robert Johnson) - out-take from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, version 1 (take 1), recorded at Columbia Studios, New York, 25 Apr 1962 (CO70101)
This is not the same song Bob recorded with Victoria Spivey and Big Joe Williams in March 1962 (R-0006 - see 1964).
R-0392 now released on the Sony Music Europe 4CD set The 50th Anniversary Collection, Dec 2012.

Acetate 4: all recorded live, Carnegie Hall, New York, 26 Oct 1963:

Track 1 was Who Killed Davey Moore?, now released on The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3.

R-0370-2 Lay Down Your Weary Tune - from the cancelled 1964 Columbia album Bob Dylan In Concert, see 1964

R-0374-2 Turn Turn Turn [Percy's Song] - version with spoken intro, from the cancelled 1964 Columbia album Bob Dylan In Concert, see 1964

Both these performances have now appeared on the Columbia/Legacy/Sony Music Europe 6LP set The 50th Anniversary Collection 1963, see 2013, although the spoken intro has been edited out of Percy' Song.

Acetate 5:

R-0394 Phantom Engineer [It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry] - early version of this song, recorded at Columbia Studios, New York, 15 Jun 1965 - I had this listed as an alternate take to the one released on The Bootleg Series Vols.1-3, but Bob Stacy informs me they are the same! A definite alternate take was released in Sep 2005 on The Bootleg Series Vol. 7: No Direction Home!

The 1991 released take was Take 3 from 15 Jun 1965. Take 3 together with Takes 1, 2, and 4-6 appear on The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 - Bob Dylan 1965-1966 The Cutting Edge Collector's Edition, Columbia/Legacy (USA), 6 Nov 2015.

R-0396 Freeze Out [Visions of Johanna] - early version of this song, recorded at Columbia Studios, New York, 30 Nov-1 Dec 1965.
This is not the take which was released in Sep 2005 on The Bootleg Series Vol. 7: No Direction Home, but it is definitely one of the takes from the The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 - Bob Dylan 1965-1966 The Cutting Edge Collector's Edition, Columbia/Legacy (USA), 6 Nov 2015. If it's one of the complete takes on the 6CD set, R-0396 will cease to be a rarity.

Acetate 6:

R-0397-R-0399 recorded live, Philharmonic Hall, New York, 31 Oct 1964 (as R-0389). These were released in Mar 2004 on The Bootleg Series Vol. 6: Live 1964.

R-0397 Never Have Met [I Don't Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Have Met)]

R-0399 A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall

Acetate 7:

R-0400 Gates of Eden, recorded live, Philharmonic Hall, New York, 31 Oct 1964 (as R-0389). This was also released in Mar 2004 on The Bootleg Series Vol. 6: Live 1964

R-0047 Just A Little Glass Of Water [She's Your Lover Now] - out-take from Blonde On Blonde, recorded Columbia Studios, New York, 21 Jan 1966, a solo piano version, not the version on The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3
Take 16 has now been released on The Cutting Edge 1965-1966: The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 (6CD Deluxe Edition) CD5, track 7, and The Cutting Edge 1965-1966: The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 (18 CD Collector's Edition) CD11, track 4. Because the 6CD Deluxe Edition is widely available, R-0047 is no longer a rarity.

Acetate 8:

Hank William's version of Lonesome Whistle (MGM 78 rpm 10" single, USA, 1951)

R-0009 (I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle [listed as Lonesome Whistle Blues] (Hank Williams) - out-take from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, recorded at Columbia Studios, New York, 25 April 1962 (take 2) This song was one of those short-listed for The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3! Also released on the Pacifica Archives CD-R Bob Dylan At WBAI, Mar  2011, and now released on the Sony Music Europe 4CD set The 50th Anniversary Collection, Dec 2012. R-0220 Mama, You've Been On My Mind duet with Joan Baez, recorded live, Philharmonic Hall, New York, 31 Oct 1964 (as R-0389). Later released in 1993 on the Vanguard Joan Baez CD boxed set Rare Live & Classic, see 1993. This was also released in Mar 2004 on The Bootleg Series Vol. 6: Live 1964.

R-0401 Keep It With Mine - instrumental version of I'll Keep It With Mine, out-take from Blonde On Blonde, recorded Columbia Studios, Nashville, TN, 15-16 Feb 1966
(Some say this is actually a different tune - Michael Krogsgaard lists ten takes of it, and describes these tracks as instrumentals played by the studio musicians with Bob probably not present!) This instrumental version turned up in 2005 on the soundtrack of a film called The Wendell Baker Story, see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 3. Thanks to Fred Muller for reminding me it's also in the 2007 Todd Haynes film I'm Not There, see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 4. CD13 of the 18CD set The Cutting Edge 1965-1966: The Bootleg Series Vol. 12 (Collector's Edition), Nov 2015, contains all ten takes. Larry Crum thinks this is Take 9 with a harmonica solo overdubbed, not present on Take 9 on The Cutting Edge. Take 9 from The Cutting Edge now has a new R-number (R-2123) to reflect this.

Thanks to Roger Ford, Bob Stacy, Ian Woodward, Larry Crum and Percy Song for information and scan.

Keith Green - "So You Wanna Go Back To Egypt..." - stereo vinyl LP: Pretty Good Records PGR-1 (USA)/Last Day Ministries BIRD 139 (UK), Dec 1980/Sparrow Records PGR1 (Australia) (1980s); CD: Sparrow Records PGD 5431 (USA), 1990:
The album contains a booklet with lyrics of the songs, notes by Keith Green, and a drawing on the back showing the participating musicians including Bob. Hans Seegers says the original 1980 album was never on sale commercially, and could only be obtained by donating at least $25 to Keith Green's Christian mission. Keith Green was killed in an air crash on 28 Jul 1982.

Pretty Good Records PGR-1 (USA), Dec 1980:

Pledge My Head To Heaven also appeared in an inferior remixed version on Keith's 1983 album I Only Want To See You There (R-0160, see 1983).
