Anyone else hear about these unreleased Phil Spector-produced Bob Dylan tracks from 1969? Apparently 35 minutes of music was planned and then almost immediately scrapped. Tracks listed on tape box include "Talkin' Da Doo Ron Ron Blues," "Phil Spector's 115th Take," "Wait 'Til My Zimmy Comes Home" and "Most Likely You Go Your Way, And I'll Take Out My Revolver And Shoot You."

What about "Be My Bubbie"? "You're Gonna Have To Serve Some Time (In Jail)"?

Re: Leonard Cohen’s 1977 album ‘Death of a Ladies’ Man’: During a cryptic exchange detailed in Ira Nadel's Cohen memoir Various Positions, Spector pointed a loaded pistol at Cohen's throat, cocked it, and said, "I love you, Leonard." Quietly, Cohen responded, "I hope you love me, Phil." Nadel also writes that the recording of the nine-minute title track began at 7:30 in the evening and lasted until 2:30 in the morning with the session musicians working on quadruple time, typical of the sessions as a whole. Another night, poet Allen Ginsberg and Bob Dylan showed up and were ordered by Spector to sing background vocals on the raucously burlesque "Don't Go Home With Your Hard-on."
Truth seems to be stranger than fiction. Again.

"Visions Of Ronnie's Beehive" is a pick to click.

Really great. And with Spector, truth...is armed. Leonard must have had an interesting couple of months there! I've heard the album...I agree with what Leonard said. "He took the power out of it" or something.
You go your way, and I'll shoot you...
That would be some funny stuff to hear!
Thanks again, Sal.
