Tiens, des news sur de la vieillerie. Dylan se la joue coffret Beatles avec une réédition mono, plus un nouveau volume des bootleg séries, plutôt intéressant je pense...


Bob Dylan's
The Bootleg Series Volume 9 – The Witmark Demos will be released
on Tuesday, October 19th, in conjunction with the re-release of the artist's
first eight long-playing albums in a box set titled Bob Dylan – The
Original Mono Recordings. Both sets have been long sought-after by
collectors and fans worldwide, with The Witmark Demos seeing their first
commercial release nearly five decades after they were first recorded, and
The Original Mono Recordings returning to the marketplace for the first
time ever on CD as well as on fully analogue 180-gram vinyl.



The Witmark Demos features 47 Bob Dylan
songs recorded by the artist accompanied only by his acoustic guitar, harmonica
and occasionally piano on 2 CD or 4 LP 180-gram vinyl. All of these songs were
written – and their subsequent demos recorded – before Bob Dylan turned 24 years
old.

Among the many gems are 15 Bob Dylan songs that were recorded by the
artist only for these sessions, and which have never been officially released to
the public until now. These include the plaintive "Ballad For A Friend," the
civil rights era-inspired "Long Ago, Far Away" and "The Death Of Emmett Till,"
and the poignant "Guess I'm Doing Fine."

The Original Mono
Recordings is comprised of Bob Dylan's first eight long-playing albums,
painstakingly reproduced from their first generation monaural mixes as the
artist intended them to be heard. These eight albums – spanning the artist's
self-titled debut in March 1962, through John Wesley Harding released on
December 27, 1967 – are universally regarded as some of the most important works
in the history of recorded music.

Together with The Witmark
Demos, they provide the public with a wide-ranging view of Bob Dylan's
work during the 1960s, and chronicle his amazing evolution from fledgling
songwriter to one of the world's most inventive and singular recording artists.
