Re: [ARSCLIST] Dylan's "Great White Wonder" - query

[Malcolm Rockwell <malcolm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul & Steven, et al -
Some of the tracks mentioned in earlier posts appear on my white label 
boot entitled " Stealin' ", which I purchased back around 1969. The 
record itself is on the Har-Cub Record Label and the quality of the 
vinyl is abysmal. Even new it played poorly and got worse with each 
subsequent play. And, no, it wasn't the needle in my old Rek-O-Kut 
table! Haven't played it in many years.
Anyhow, the track list (which is actually on the disc):

Side 1
Can I Crawl Out Your Window
It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry
Killing Me Alive
If You Gotta Go
She Belongs To Me
My Love Waits Like Silence

Side 2
It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Cough Song
New Orleans
That's All Right Babe
Hard Times In New York Town / Stealin'
Wade In The Water
Cocaine

A mish-mosh of early acoustic, out-takes and pre-Band material.
I'm gonna play it one more time and digitize it.
