As promised, here is an informative (though not complete) compilation of rare outtakes of Dylan's "One of Us Must Know," recorded at Columbia Studio A in New York City in January of 1966. A few weeks after the final take was recorded on January 25, Dylan was so satisfied by this piece that he decided to release it as a single, and later included it on his groundbreaking double LP, Blonde on Blonde. Unfortunately, the song did not chart. But Dylan has regarded "One of Us Must Know" as one of his favorites.
Sessions musicians, as well as some members of The Hawks (later known as The Band), are playing here, and they are in fine form. By the later takes, each instrument has a unique, playful, and catchy melody of their own. Critic Jonathan Singer credits Griffin's piano for binding the song together: "At the chorus, Griffin unleashes a symphony; hammering his way up and down the keyboard, half Gershwin, half gospel, all heart. The follow-up, a killer left-hand figure that links the chorus to the verse, releases none of the song's tension."This the only song recorded in New York to make it onto the final cut, as Dylan opted to record the rest of his songs in Nashville to find the sound he was looking for. However, the vibe of the final cut fits into the album very well despite its differing origins. There were 25 takes of "One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later)," the most of any song on Blonde on Blonde, and possibly any Dylan record. Dylan worked tirelessly to make sure this composition was perfect, as you can hear in this video. Below are the track listings with appropriate timestamps:
TRACKLIST: 0:00 - Take 5 1:53 - Takes 6-8 3:36 - Take 9 6:30 - Takes 10-14 8:02 - Takes 16-17 8:36 - Rehearsal 10:21 - Take 25 (MASTER TAKE, VOCAL) [It's fascinating to hear Dylan's isolated singing. Of course, his voice was nasal in this period, but his pitch is spot-on and there are times when his voice has a perfect vibrato].

On Monday, the Universal Music Publishing Group announced that it had signed a landmark deal to purchase Dylan’s entire songwriting catalog — including world-changing classics like “Blowin’ in the Wind,” “The Times They Are A-Changin’” and “Like a Rolling Stone” — in what may be the biggest acquisition ever of the music publishing rights of a single act.
The deal, which covers Dylan’s entire career, from his earliest songs to the tunes on his latest album, “Rough and Rowdy Ways,” was struck directly with Dylan, 79, who has long controlled the majority of his own songwriting copyrights.The price was not disclosed, but is estimated at more than $300 million.
QuoteThe Universal deal also includes Dylan’s shares in a number of songs he has written with other songwriters, although of the more than 600 titles included in the deal, there is only one in which Dylan is not a writer, but still owns the copyright: Robbie Robertson’s “The Weight,” as recorded by the Band.

Notes:
The Slipping Daylights is The Slip + The Living Daylights.
Some level changes at the beginning of So Dope, sounds like the recordist is turning a pad on or something. I removed some clicks but did not try to fix the levels. Most of the track is fine.
Slipping Daylights soundcheck segues seamlessly into set.
Thanks to Edmund Edwards for the DAT! -

Portland-based footwear company KEEN is teaming up with the Jerry Garcia family on a new, limited-edition collection that celebrates the late singer’s artwork and activism.
The collection, which launches August 1st on keenfootwear.com (to commemorate what would have been Garcia’s 78th birthday), re-casts two of KEEN’s most popular sandal styles with colors and motifs from Garcia’s watercolor paintings. Though he’s best known as a singer and guitarist with The Grateful Dead, Garcia also attended classes at the San Francisco Art Institute as a kid and eventually produced more than 2,000 paintings, sketches and illustrations, many of which are still shown in art galleries around the world today.

QuoteA collaboration with his wife, novelist Polly Samson, and his daughter, harpist Romany Gilmour.
David Gilmour has released “Yes, I Have Ghosts,” the Pink Floyd guitarist’s first new music in five years. The song is a collaboration with his daughter, harpist Romany Gilmour, and his wife, the author and lyricist Polly Samson. The song was previously part of the audiobook version of Samson’s latest novel, A Theatre for Dreamers. Prior to the spread of COVID-19, the trio was planning to promote the book during a “series of shows blending words and music.”
In a press release, Gilmour writes, “I was working on this song just as we went in to lockdown and had to cancel a session with backing singers but, as it turned out, the solution was right here and I couldn’t be happier with the way Romany’s voice blends with mine and her beautiful harp playing has been another revelation.”
Samson adds, “Collaborating with David—as I have done many times over the last 30 years, writing songs for both Pink Floyd and his solo albums—we were able to bring together the worlds of literature and music to enhance the listening experience and connect with audiences in a way which I don’t think has been done before.”
A Theater of Dreamers takes place among an “expat bohemian community of poets, painters, and musicians.” The novel’s cast of characters includes a young Leonard Cohen.

QuoteThe Grateful Dead continues to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their Workingman’s Dead studio album with the release of the Workingman’s Dead: The Angel’s Share outtake compilation. The first such compilation in the band’s history contains 64 tracks spanning two hours and 32 minutes that displays the process which led to the making of Workingman’s Dead.
Recorded at Pacific High Recording in the band’s hometown of San Francisco, Workingman’s Dead marked a big transition in the Dead’s sound from psychedelic rock to Americana. The Angel’s Share finds the group hard at work developing the road tested songs into standout studio tracks. The new compilation contains at least one outtake featuring each of the eight songs that would appear on Workingman’s Dead ranging from a lone cut for “Cumberland Blues” to 15 “Easy Wind” tracks.
In addition to music, The Angel’s Share also includes a handful of tracks featuring banter from the studio. The new release from Rhino is available on digital services only for now and gets its name for a term used by whiskey distillers for alcohol lost in the distillation process. “Much like the whiskey-distillation process, there were also ingredients that were vital to the creation of Workingman’s Dead that were lost and did not end up on the final album, the band’s own version of the ‘angel’s share,” noted Rhino in a statement as per Rolling Stone.
The collection of outtakes comes in addition to a Workingman's Dead 50th Anniversary reissue due on July 10. Audio used in The Angel’s Share was found on unlabeled tapes in the Grateful Dead’s vault late in the process of creating the reissue. “The complete takes show the development,” Lemieux told Rolling Stone. “The Dead had been playing these songs for so long, in some cases nine months, so they had them down. But this is where the nuances developed.”
