Dylan Under/Out Of Control

As I've noted before, most of the fabled "Basement Tapes" recorded by Dylan and The Band at Big Pink in 1967 remain unreleased (though long available on 5-disc bootlegs).  The dozens of unreleased cuts include some terrific and not-so-great covers plus many Dylan originals (completed or in-process).   Also, many alternate takes of the songs that have been released.  Here's the mis-named "Under Control," the rockingest one, and possibly the hardest he ever rocked, with Robbie snarling on guitar.   Note:  I've posted the first chapter of my just-completed comic novel, Too Much of Nothing--set in and around Big Pink today--here for a few days, please read and comment!
