Get You Now, instrumental, Mighty Quinn, Lo And Behold, Apple
Suckling Tree, Tiny Montgomery, I Shall Be Released, instrumental,

DEEP: Tiny Tim at Big Pink? What a hoot. Comical renditions
by the Tim Man that only a dog could appreciate, though in
excellent quality. The instrumentals are interesting to hear,
though very short, and you won't be hyperbolizing about any of them
down the road. Dylan's vocal contributions (6) have all been heard
in better quality on the Genuine
Basement Tapes. Much hiss to sift through here. The only
redeeming features are the nice looking front and back covers. Pass
on this one, folks, it's a loser.
CDG: The Basement Tapes revisited, no new material here as
far as I can tell. Maybe interesting if you haven't got any
Basement stuff yet, otherwise let this pass...
