45 Number Sixty-Six


This is one of my favourite 45s. The Alpha band is T-Bone Burnett's late 70s band. I found this at Yesterday and Today Records in Rockville MD. Another one of those "Oh My God, they put this out on 45." It's a Dylan cover. I have the reputation as a Dylan hater. But that's not the case. I just prefer his songs sung by others. Can you believe You Tube doesn't have this song by the Alpha Band. They do have Dylan's version. I looked elsewhere on the net, and couldn't find any place to hear the Alpha Band song except a sample on Amazon. So my choice was the Dylan original, or 29 seconds of the song from an online store. So maybe you can do some shopping after the 29 seconds are up.
