Notes
The instrumentation above is taken
from Griffin, but are essentially unknown in the sense that all involved
musicians were multi-instrumentalists and no written documentation remains.
Lines notes below refer to THE BASEMENT TAPES COMPLETE liner notes.
1-7 started circulating among
collectors September-October 1992.
3 Griffin claims that this song was
recorded 3 October. In the lner notes it is a traditional song called One Kind Favor. See also Barker, page
313.
4 is also called Coming Round The Mountain.
5 is called It's The Flight Of The Bumblebee in the liner notes and attributed
to Bob Dylan. Since not much of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakovs composition is left,
this seems correct. See Griffin, page 227.
8 is unreleased and uncirculated.
