Much to our surprise, it sounded great, so we decided that we had to use it. Now, whether the band started to play the song sooner or played it slightly faster, I’m not sure, but it was some time later when we were doing the orchestra overdubs and they were holding their last note at the end of the song that the end part of the earlier take, that apparently hadn’t been erased, blasted out of the monitors. We all thought that we could get another take just as good, so the decision was made to tape over the one with the maddening ring on the end. So we were coming to the end of this great take and the bathroom phone that never rang suddenly let out an annoyingly loud jingle that was, of course, picked up by the piano mics and made the take unusable, much to everyone’s intense dismay. In fact, no one ever knew the number, so it never rang. Its sole purpose was to allow session musicians to call out during breaks or after the session was finished and so wasn’t meant for anyone to call in on. In that spirit, here are 10 wonders you might not know, but should.There was a bathroom attached to the studio that had a public phone in it. In anticipation, no doubt there will be much demand for the regularly lionized works: songs such as “Like a Rolling Stone” and “Blowin in the Wind,” and albums including “Blonde on Blonde,” “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan,” and “The Basement Tapes.” But what about those discographical back-corridor nuggets that haven’t garnered as much attention? With someone like Dylan, the stuff that isn’t played often, but should be, can tell a tale to match or even surpass the official canon. (Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion, July 17). The iconic singer hit 75 on May 24, and he’s still going strong starting with a Tanglewood performance this Saturday, Dylan will be performing at Foxwoods on Sunday, soon to be followed with shows in Boston (Blue Hills Bank Pavilion, July 14), Portland, Maine (Thompson’s Point, July 16), and Gilford, N.H.
