"Mixed-Up Confusion" 1962 "Blowin' in the Wind" 1963

Mixed-Up Confusion is a song written and recorded by Bob Dylan. It was recorded with an electric band on November 14, 1962 during the sessions for The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, but was not used on that album, which, aside from "Corrina, Corrina", was entirely acoustic. Instead the song, backed with "Corrina, Corrina" (a different take than the Freewheelin' one), a traditional blues song, appeared as Dylan's first single, released in the U.S. on 14 December 1962 as Columbia 4-42656.^[1] According to legend, Dylan wrote the song in a cab on the way to the Columbia Studios for the recording session.^[2] This version was released in the Biograph box set in 1985. A different, previously unreleased, take from the same session appeared on the compilation album Masterpieces in 1978.^[1] Both sides of the single are now available, in mono, as bonus tracks on the 2-CD Jasmine release Carolyn Hester Introduces Bob Dylan.
