gipettoWarum wurde die Veröffentlichung von Hitchhiker damals denn eigentlich verworfen?
Ich weiß es auch nicht, man könnte aber ähnliche Gründe wie evtl auch bei Time Fades Away vermuten: schlichte Unlust.
z.B. bei Stereogum findet man folgendes Zitat:
I spent the night there with David and recorded nine solo acoustic songs, completing a tape I called Hitchhiker.
It was a complete piece, although I was pretty stony on it, and you can hear it in my performances. Dean Stockwell, my friend and a great actor who I later worked on Human Highway as a co-director, was with us that night, sitting in the room with me as I laid down all the songs in a row, pausing only for weed, beer, or coke. Briggs was in the control room, mixing live on his favorite console.
