2 Ghost Riders In The Sky George playing and jamming with Bob Dylan on his "New Morning" album rehearsals on 1st May 1970 and the morning of the 2nd.

George on Electric Guitar, Charlie E, Daniels on Bass, Russ Kunkel on drums and Bob Johnston on piano who also serves as producer (George is not logged on the CBS studio recording contracts so as not to upset Apple).

The missing tracks that have yet to see the light of day are "Sign On The Window", "Time Passes Slowly", and "It Ain't Me Babe".

Reports about this session appeared in many music papers around the world at the time and an album consisting of that material was announced by the press.

Six months later the next Harrison album "All Things Must Pass" did not feature a single Dylan appearance, but one track (track 22 below) from these sessions was released as late as 1991 on Dylan's "The Bootleg Series".

The second half of the session tape exists as a Columbia acetate.

This is the best available quality release thus far and a real highlight has to be Dylan's rendition of Paul's "Yesterday".

"Put some cellos on".
