All credit here for this pairing goes to Probe is Turning-On the People. A demo of the Velvet Underground sounding like Dylan, and an alternate take of Dylan doing "Desolation Row" sounding like the Velvet Underground. Both songs were recorded in July, 1965 in New York City. Oh yeah, you know they were watching each other. Ever so close to worlds colliding.
Poke around over at the Probe. There's a lot of great esoteric music. These were posted in 2011 and he'd already been posting for a few years then. Dude must have a record huge collection. You'll see.

I think Dylan made a wise choice in not releasing this version. That electric guitar really grates. The Spanish flavored acoustic on the LP is light years better.
