==Recording sessions== ===Background=== After the release of ''Highway 61 Revisited'' in August 1965, Dylan set about hiring a touring band. Guitarist Mike Bloomfield and keyboard player Al Kooper had backed Dylan on his new album and at Dylan's controversial electric debut at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival. Bloomfield chose not to tour with Dylan, preferring to remain with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. ===New York sessions=== Producer Bob Johnston, who had overseen the recording of ''Highway 61 Revisited'', started work with Dylan and the Hawks at Columbia Studio A, 799 Seventh Avenue, New York, on October 5. They concentrated on a new arrangement of "Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?", a song recorded during the ''Highway 61 Revisited'' sessions but not included on that album. Three further numbers were attempted, but none progressed into completed songs. Both the fragmentary "Jet Pilot" and "I Wanna Be Your Lover", a quasi-parody of the Beatles' "I Wanna Be Your Man", finally appeared on the 1985 box set retrospective, ''Biograph''. Also attempted were two takes of "Medicine Sunday", a song that later evolved into "Temporary Like Achilles".
