Thank you walter, I keep learning...

walter said on Tuesday, 14 December 2010:
Use your own judgement, but don't overdo this . Like Anubis said, there should be a substantial difference. Live versions may have their moments, but usually they stay close to the studio cut (see Frampton's Show Me The Way). A good example of an absolutely different live take is Bob Marley's No Woman No Cry.

philipsaw86 said on Monday, 13 December 2010:
Thank you! Yes they're quite different, both great! I'll submit it now. The Heptones did two covers of this song too, one produced by Lee Scratch Perry in 1977, that I just submitted, which is really a cover of their own previous version from 1969, maybe this too are not so different,... should I submit both and let you the admins decide?

DJ Anubis said on Monday, 13 December 2010:
So Dylan did two versions of the same song? Just add the year to the latest version... So one would be "I Shall be Released", second one would be "I Shall Be Released (1971)".. Just make sure there's enough difference between the two versions for it to be significant...
Added a second cover of "I'm A Believer" by Neil Diamond yesterday too. http://www.whosampled.com/cover/view/73305/ (the first one was very close to the "original" that he wrote himself, the second a slow acoustic one)

philipsaw86 said on Monday, 13 December 2010:
Same thing happens with I Shall Be Released, I submitted the Bootleg Series Dylan cover with this useful tags, it's in the waiting queue. Thing is now I can't submit the 1971 Dylan acoustic cover for the Greatest Hits Vol. II album, is there a way to do it?

walter said on Friday, 10 December 2010:
Thanks Anubis, you're making me blush now :-) Started this tag (with Kid Who's blessing) to explain all the confusing "time travel" issues, dixit mr Gumbs. The 1991 album Jay refers to is Dylan's first volume in the Bootleg Series, which has seen many others. Likewise, Springsteen is cleaning the shelves nowadays :-)

Jay Gumbs said on Friday, 10 December 2010:
I think there's a 1991 album by Dylan where all those songs should be tagged as "From the Vaults".

DJ Anubis said on Thursday, 09 December 2010:
Whoever started this "From The Vaults" tag for songs released much later then they were recorded: I love you!

walter said on Monday, 15 November 2010:
Another famous basement song was This Wheel's On Fire, that more or less went the same route.

Drpepperfan said on Monday, 15 November 2010:
Yeah, Bob Dylan recorded and wrote the song first, but never officially released it until much later.

philipsaw86 said on Monday, 15 November 2010:
That's 1967 Dylan's Basement Tapes. GREAT song, great cover!

Jay Gumbs said on Monday, 15 November 2010:
How did this happen? Time Travel?
