Fifty-two years ago, on April 24, 1962, Bob Dylan entered Columbia Studio A in New York and began recording his second album, the album that would become The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan.

That day he recorded versions of “I’m Going to New Orleans,” “Sally Gal,” “Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Willie,” Corrina, Corrina,” “The Death of Emmett Till,” “Talkin’ John Birch Paranoid Blues” and “(I Heard That) Lonesome Whistle” according to Clinton Heylin’s “Bob Dylan: The Recording Sessions [1960 – 1994].”

Here are versions of the songs he cut that day. Some may have been cut at later sessions as in some cases he recorded the same song at more than one session.
