While I continue toiling away with the 1964 Eric Von Schmidt Tape, I figured I'd put this out there. This recording was only officially available on a Dutch 7" single from 1967. This is the original, unedited mono mix of an outtake from Bringing It All Back Home which was recorded at Columbia Studios, New York, January 15th, 1965, and then overdubbed with background vocals on May 21st, 1965. The overdubs were provided by a female vocal group called The Poppies.

Here is some more info on this single by the good people at Searching For A Gem:
"Two composite versions of If You Gotta Go, Go Now were produced from an overdub session at Columbia Studios, New York, on 21 May 1965. Composite 1 (from takes 1-5) was released as this single, Composite 2 (from takes 6-7) was released on The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3. The musicians who took part on 21 May 1965 aren't named, and although there's no mention of singers, Michael Krogsgaard thinks the vocal overdubbing may have taken place then. However, The Poppies' recording career for Epic as a group occurred only from 1966, so the vocal overdubbing may actually have been recorded later. No such session for 1966 is listed in Michael Krogsgaard's series on Bob Dylan's recording sessions in 'The Telegraph' and 'The Bridge'.

Hans Seegers adds: 'Some collectors claim that this single was mistakenly released by CBS Holland. Research at CBS showed, however, that this was not true. As with all Dutch Dylan releases of those days, the release itself and the compilation of its A- and B-sides were determined by Columbia USA, who also supplied the master tapes for this single. So for CBS Holland this was a normal release as any other Dylan single. It may be possible, as other collectors claim, that Dylan objected to the release of If You Gotta Go, Go Now, but no proof whatsoever at CBS was found that this led to the withdrawal of it from record shops. Actually there was even a second run at the pressing plant causing the two label variations known so far.'"
