Various Artists – Desolation Row – 24 Great Versions

A song written by Bob Dylan, it was first recorded as an electric version by him in July 1965, backed by Harvey Brooks on bass and Al Kooper on guitar during the sessions for his “Highway 61 Revisited” LP. It was re-recorded as an acoustic version in August 1965, with Charlie McCoy on acoustic guitar and Russ Savakus on bass, and this was the version that appeared on the above mentioned LP. The original electric version appeared on the “Bootleg Series Volume 7” in 2005.

There were several other versions recorded at the same period.

I didn’t include it here, but my favorite version by Bob Dylan is from a bootleg LP titled « Bob Dylan In Melbourne, Australia 1966 - The Enigmatic Story Of A Boy And His Dog – With A Cast Of Thousands », recorded on April 20, 1966 with The Band. The complete concert from that date was officially released by Sony in 2016 on disc 3 of a 36 disc box set called “The 1966 Live Recordings”.

Here, the acoustic version is on disc 1, track 1 and the electric version is on disc 2, track 12.
