Infidel sessions, lots of great unreleased tracks.

Yes, I love the 2 intsrumentals (dark groove and Don't Fly Unless It's Safe) , tell me, blind willie mctell, and alternate takes from songs on the album
these are really pure gems

[vgonis]

It would have been in the fantastic 10 of Dylan's if it contained these gems. Now it is somewhere between 10 and 20...

I have not seen the session sheets myself but this is the information from the INFIDELS session sheets for 20 April 1983. I assume (but don't know) that this is where this particular take comes from, though the song was atempted on another day.

I also assume that the first three recordings are more like a warm-up than anything else.

20 April 1983, Studio A, Power Station, New York City
