Title: Sitting on a Barbed Wire Fence (mono mix with intro)
Artist: Bob Dylan
Album: 1965 Revisited (Track #1)
Duration: 04:08
Label: Great Dane Records
I paid fifteen million dollars, twelve hundred and seventy-two cents
I paid one thousand two hundred twenty-seven dollars and fifty-five cents
See my hound dog bite a rabbit
And my football's sittin' on a barbed-wire fence
Well, my temperature rises and my feet don't walk so fast
Yes, my temperature rises and my feet don't walk so fast
Well, this Arabian doctor came in, gave me a shot
But wouldn't tell me if what I had would last
Well, this woman I've got, she's filling me with her drive
Yes, this woman I've got, she's thrillin' me with her hive
She's calling me Stan
Or else she calls me Mister Clive
Of course, you're gonna think this song is a riff
I know you're gonna think this song is a cliff
Unless you've been inside a tunnel
And fell down 69, 70 feet over a barbed-wire fence
All night!
This exhaustive Italian set of 14 discs in 9 separate jewel cases comes packed in a 12" x 12" box. Also included is a 12" x 12" ooklet packed full of rare photos, historical and venue information. The best quality, essential listening material has been available before. The new to disc recordings do not warrant the cost of the package to those who already have the bulk of the material elsewhere. For those who can afford the hefty price tag, are wanting an incredible visual package, or looking to step into 1965 material for the first time... this mouth watering treat will be the jewel in your crown. Some of the material is less than desirable quality by today's standards, but the recordings here represent as good a quality as is known to exist on each recording.
