EPITAFIUM DLA BOBA DYLANA [EPITAPH FOR BOB DYLAN	Jacek Kaczmarski/Bob Dylan, 1985	N?
Song written by Polish artist Jacek Kaczmarski using music by Bob Dylan after "Live Aid", 1985 (which he obviously wasn't pleased with). This appeared first on his 1985 alnum "Bankiet" (Pomaton pom 051, Poland, 1985) and later on a CD called "Dwadziescia(5) Lat Pozniej" (Pomaton PRCD 250 8573882402, Poland, 2001) now just titled BOB DYLAN. Artur Jarosinski says: "I interviewed the man and he said he did not take music from any particular song, he just wanted to sound like Dylan at "Live Aid" (so it sounds like WHEN THE SHIP COMES IN crossed with BLOWIN' IN THE WIND)." Thanks to Artur for the information and the scans

Gene Simmons with The Vault 1966-2016, a 2018 collectable model safe including 10CDs with EVERYBODY WANTS SOMEBODY on CD5

EVERYBODY WANTS SOMEBODY Bob Dylan/Gene Simmons, 1996 N?

Thanks to Alex Filosa for news that in Jan 2018 Gene Simmons released "The Vault 1966-2016", a collectable model safe full of Simmons memorabilia including 10CDs plus a bonus CD, including three co-compositions with Bob Dylan on CDs 5 and 6 - EVERYBODY WANTS SOMEBODY, NA, NA, NA, NA (an early version of EVERYBODY WANTS SOMEBODY) and WAITING FOR THE MORNING LIGHT, the last of which was previously released in a shorter version in 2004 on Gene's solo Sanctuary Records album entitled "A**hole". CD5 also contains a 15:40 track called "BOB DYLAN WRITING SESSION". Each safe costs $2000 and will be hand-delivered to the buyer by Gene Simmons himself! (Presumably just in the continental USA.) For a 1991 song co-written by Bob and Gene Simmons see LAUGHING WHEN YOU WANT TO CRY. Tim Dunn says: Just received the new April 2018 issue of "Goldmine" magazine with an interview with Gene Simmons. He discusses working with Dylan and mentions their writing session, which lasted 6 or 7 hours. Three tracks on "The Vault" involve Dylan, apparently NA, NA, NA, NA, EVERYBODY WANTS SOMEBODY and WAITING FOR THE MORNING LIGHT. Simmons says that Dylan wouldn't finish the lyrics "so eventually I just sat down and wrote the lyric and found variations of that which became two other songs... NA, NA, NA, NA has that title because I couldn't come up with a chorus lyric, and WAITING FOR THE MORNING LIGHT and EVERYBODY WANTS SOMEBODY were other variations." He adds "Bob came up with some chords that I liked a lot, and I started humming a melody...riffing back and forth...just outlined a few variations...So over the years, I tried to get him to write the lyric...'No, Mr. Kiss, you write it'." One version of WAITING FOR THE MORNING LIGHT is on his album "Asshole". None are in the Copyright Office records as of today.

EXCEPT YOU	1973	O
Alternate title for NOBODY 'CEPT YOU, released on "The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3"

A Flying Pig production
