One of the covers from a bootleg Basement Tapes collection.
On June 26, 1975, 39 years ago, Columbia released a version of The Basement Tapes.
The two album set contained 24 songs from the more than 100 songs that Bob Dylan and The Band recorded during the informal ‘Basement Tapes’ sessions.
Many of the recordings that didn’t make it onto the official release, are wonderful.
Yeah, the fidelity from the bootlegs isn’t so great, but the vibe is incredible.
Here are ten gems.
“Big River”:
“I Am Your Teenage Prayer”:
“I Don’t Hurt Anymore”:
“I Can’t Make It Alone”:
“Cool Water”:
“Joshua Gone Barbados”:
“Belchezaar 1 & 2”:
“Waltzing With Sin”:
“The Hills Of Mexico”:
“The French Girl” Take 2:

Marcel Dzama’s short film is called “Une Danse Des Bouffons” (The Jester’s Dance).
Kim Gordon has a starring role, and the soundtrack is by members of Arcade Fire.
A four-song single will be included in the Music issue of The Believer, out next week.
Check out this very cool trailer.
Here’s a description of the film from the film’s Fawcebook page:
In this Dadaist love story “Une Danse Des Bouffons/A Jester’s Dance”, there are many recurring themes: death and rebirth, multiple identities and doppelgängers, false prophets, love and love lost, the corruption of power and fragility of what is real or true.
Using a recreation of Marcel Duchamp’s Étant Donnés, a trickster of old mythology awakens Maria Martins (played by Kim Gordon and Hannelore Knuts) from the sculpture. She finds her lover (a captive Marcel Duchamp) forced to recite chess moves to an unknown game. So Maria must enter a deep rabbit hole to save her love.

Soul man Bobby Womack, whose numerous R&B hits included “Lookin’ For A Love,” “That’s The Way I Feel About Cha,” “Woman’s Gotta Have It” and “If You Think You’re Lonely Now,” died today according to the artist’s label, XL Records.
The cause of death has not been revealed, but Womack had been suffering from colon cancer and diabetes.
In 1964 Womack and his brothers, recording as The Valentinos, released a song Womack had written, “It’s All Over Now.” A month later the Rolling Stones released their version, which became a #1 hit on the UK sales charts and introduced the singer’s song to a generation of white teens, including me.
I loved “It’s All Over Now,” though it was years before I noticed that the songwriter was Bobby Womack.
I interviewed Womack in 1984 at his home in the Hollywood Hills for Rolling Stone when he was in the midst of one of many comebacks — this one had started with 1981’s The Poet.
At the time we talked, Womack had another hit album,The Poet II.
I asked Womack what his reaction was back in 1964 when he first learned that the Rolling Stones had a hit in England with his song.
“Tell them to get their own fucking song!,” he said. “I never was happy about that until I saw a check.”
Womack became friends with Ron Wood of the Stones, and played on several of Wood’s solo albums.
When he learned of Womack’s death, Ron Wood Tweeted:
“I’m so sad to hear about my friend Bobby Womack ~ the man who could make you cry when he sang has brought tears to my eyes with his passing.”
Womack had problems with drugs — in particular, cocaine. “The biggest downfall for any entertainer is drugs,” Womack said. “I ain’t saying I was totally out there, but I had my share.
During that interview he said he’d been clean for six months and told me he was excited to be touring with a hit album.
“I don’t know about everyone else, but I want to live,” he told me. “I have two sons. I have a beautiful wife. And music, the gift that God gave me, means more to me today than it’s ever meant.”
These videos were shot at the long defunct club, the Orphanage, in San Francisco on July 29, 1974.
Van Morrison was in excellent form.
These are a delight.
