on an album that i have a copy of, which is called “the genuine bootleg series,” which is really a bootleg, but a very well produced one; 3 CDs of brilliant material, much of it coming in the pretty early silly days of dylan’s music, and it contains this alternative track. the lyrics are a bit different as well. one of the interesting things is that if you read the liner notes from “desire,” ginsberg quotes a line from a song as i type i’m trying to remember which one it is, it might be from idiot wind itself; no, it’s from another song on “blood on the tracks,” um…it’s, uh…that one about…DAMN. i’m going to do a google search and get back to you…anyway, the lyrics quoted by the liner notes are different than the ones you hear on the studio album, and this bootleg series contains the version of the song quoted.

lots of alternate lyrics in idiot wind too.

and, i also remember that the lyrics for hurricane on this series go:

“i was only robbing the bodies, i hope you understand”

(as opposed to “robbing the register”)…also, other alterations that appear to have been changed in order to protect against libelous statements.

cool.

great, now EVERYONE wants firsty to make CD copies.
