| (o): | Bob Dylan (1967) | label: CBS |
| | One of 161 Basement Tapes. Many remain unreleased. There are two versions of Quinn: one (with Garth Hudson as a one-man parade band) circulates only on bootleg. Then there's the (longer) version that was released officially on the Biograph box set. The live version that came out on Self Portrait as The Mighty Quinn was recorded during his Isle Of Wight set. |
