Bob Dylan – Electric Lunch Sampler (1974): This EP gives three songs apiece from two then-current Bob Dylan albums: the studio album Planet Waves and the concert album Before the Flood by Bob Dylan and the Band (Dylan’s first major-label live album). The songs on Side 1 include “Forever Young” – that song actually appears on the Planet Waves album twice, in a slow version and a fast version. Rod Stewart released a song in 1988 also called “Forever Young” that was so similar to this Dylan song that they agreed to share the songwriting credits. Side 2 gives three live performances: “All Along the Watchtower” (a hit single for Jimi Hendrix Experience), “Highway 61 Revisited” (the opening verse is a novel take on the Biblical story of Abraham, when God told him to kill his newborn, long-promised son Isaac), and “Stage Fright” (actually written by Robbie Robertson of the Band, not Bob Dylan as the record label states).
