Description
Bob Dylan The Freewheelin' Rare Mono Vinyl LP That Plays The Four Deleted Tracks (Columbia, CL 1986). This is an extremely rare copy of Dylan's classic second album in mono that plays the four tracks that were later deleted and replaced prior to official release. There is no indication of such on the sleeve or the disc, but it plays "Talking John Birch Blues," "Gamblin' Willie's Dead Man's Hand," "Rocks and Gravel" and "Let Me Die in My Footsteps." It features the following matrix numbers: XLP - 58717 - 1A (Side One) and XLP - 58718 - 1A (Side Two).This is an original mono pressing of Bob Dylan's legendary second album that lists the common songs everywhere, but plays the four rare, deleted tracks that hardcore Dylan fans know and love.
Only this first pressing of the album contains the controversial song "Talkin' John Birch Society Blues," which CBS-TV decided to keep Bob from performing on The Ed Sullivan Show that spring. CBS Inc. followed suit by keeping it off this unknown folksinger's second album -- which already had been fully approved and for which the Columbia Records presses -- had started rolling in Los Angeles.
For reasons unknown, three additional tracks were yanked off the release, and four new songs were substituted. Thus, you have what we'll call the "rare" and "common" tracks for purposes of describing these Freewheelin' lots.
The four deleted tracks sometimes had slightly alternate names, just adding to the mystery and confusion surrounding the entire ordeal. They were also sprinkled evenly across the entire LP. They are:
On Side One:
"Rocks and Gravel" (aka, "Solid Road")
"Talkin' John Birch Blues" (aka "Talkin' John Birch Society Blues" aka "Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues" aka "Talkin' John Birch")
On Side Two:
"Gamblin' Willie's Dead Man's Hand" (aka "Ramblin' Gamblin' Willie")
"Let Me Die in My Footsteps"
The sleeve is in NM 8 condition with corner bumps. Disc is in EX 7 condition. COA from Heritage Auctions. From the Mitch Barth Collection.
