Tell Ol' Bill (released version)

Review:
This 72 minute CD starts part way into an early take of the song and continues through twelve more takes. This is a fascinating release for those interested in the mind of Bob in the studio, as you get to hear how his ideas progress from song conception to the finished product. The song is tried in several different keys and different styles. More bonuses include a few different lyrics, and Dylan talking and making comments about the songs in between playing. This recording popped up on the Internet in late summer of 2006. It was simultaneously released by Thinman. As they all happened at about the same time, I don't know the logistics of who was first. This is an incredible quality recording, and is sourced from the same master as the Thinman release and the Internet version. This release rates higher than Thinman's due to the packaging. It's mind blowing. The Rattle Snake is definitely in business to try to win friends and influence his uncle! The full color images and photos are stunning. The fonts are clean and classy, and there is an eight page photo and info book enclosed. The title is more imaginative as well, being a line from the song that plays upon the studio ambiance. Thirteen versions of one song is not everyone's cup of meat, so this title doesn't make the Must Have list... but that's the only reason. One sweet release!
