The original version, produced by Daniel Lanois, was recorded on March 23, 1989 for (but ultimately omitted from) Dylan's 26th album Oh Mercy. This version was later remixed, with overdubs added in January 1991, for inclusion on The Bootleg Series Volumes 1–3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961–1991. It was also included on the compilation Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Volume 3 in 1994.
