“Mighty Quinn” #10 4/13/1968

One written by Bob Dylan and also known as “Quinn The Eskimo.” Don’t ask why - the lyrics are rather opaque at best. Dylan didn’t officially release the track until 1970, but the English group Manfred Mann heard the demo and got the OK to record the song. Lead vocalist Mike D’Abo admitted he couldn’t decipher parts of Dylan’s lyrics and had to substitute some of his own. Klaus Voormann (friend of the Beatles) sat in and played the flute intro.
