Has anyone read this book yet:

 

Bob Dylan: Intimate Insights from Friends and Fellow Musicians

by Kathleen Mackay

 

there was a John Lennon similar to that.

i think the whole Pictures inspired by Dylan is a nice idea.

Fan Input To Shape Fall Dylan Retrospective

Bob Dylan

June 21, 2007, 1:05 PM ET

Jessica Letkemann, N.Y.

Fan input will help shape the songs that will make the cut for "Dylan," a three-disc Bob Dylan retrospective and companion greatest hits disc due Oct. 1 via Columbia.

 

The larger set will feature 51 songs that will be chosen in part based on "fan lobbying" and votes cast at Dylan07.com, which launched in February. Visitors to the site will also find the record's artwork, a trailer and details on how to contribute photos to a future online Dylan photo album.

 

The three-disc "Dylan" will be released in standard packaging as well as in a "deluxe" cloth-bound, photo-laden version that includes ample liner notes. The one-disc "best of" version of "Dylan" will feature 18 songs.

 

Dylan is on tour in North America through late July and will then head to Australia and New Zealand for an August run.

Uncut article with tracklist

 

Columbia Records have today (August 10) revealed the 51 song tracklisting that will make up Bob Dylan's long-awaited retrospective box set 'DYLAN.'

 

The three disc set, due out in October, spans 45 years from the great man and ends many months of speculative debate about what was to be chosen for inclusion.

 

It also features the new Mark Ronson remix of ''Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine).'

 

'DYLAN' will come in three versions, one as a single disc 18 track retrospective.

 

The three CD set will come in a limited edition deluxe box covered in red cloth, the discs themselves designed to look like replica vinyl in their own sleeves.

 

The box will also include a 40 page booklet with extended liner notes and rare photos, as well 10 limited edition postcard prints.

 

Also in October comes the first Dylan live at Newport Folk Festival DVD release. 'The Other Side Of The Mirror' captures Dylan playing at the event in 1963 - the DVD boasts 80 minutes of previously unreleased material.

When The Deal Goes Down

[Sir Stewart]

A career-spanning retrospective without "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues"? Can I sue, even if I had no desire to buy this thing anyway?

[Lammycat]

So this is just a collection of everything most Dylan fans already own, correct? I did skim the thread, too.

[Sir Stewart]

It's for people who hate Dylan, but want to look like they "get" him.

I am unbelievably devastated right now. They don't ship outside the United States! That would have been the absolute best Canadian $5 (approximately, I'm guessing, including S&H) ever spent.

Wow - thanks! I've had this on vinyl but it is hard to resist getting it on CD for $3.

I read somewhere this is going to the next Bootleg Series release.

[froggie]

i dont think Newport will be the next boot series, just a normal release.

 

as for the 3cd comp above, some albums arent even represented.. one (+ a single) tune from H61, no Visions of johanna... hmmm

[Analogman]

Looks like it was back and forth on that one.

Looks like those deals are now gone.

I was looking at Expecting Rain and some guy was talking about how he had bought ten of each.

[Lammycat]

[Wow - thanks! I've had this on vinyl but it is hard to resist getting it on CD for $3.

It looks as if they've gone back to a more sane sale price. Here's hoping the original sale price will be honored, as I put several orders in.

[jc4prez]

they better be or I want my fucking money back lol

Just got an email saying that they made a mistake and the orders are not being honored.

I'm not surprised, I've had that happen to me with something before. I'd suggest going around to their offices and smashing it up, then claim that you'd made a mistake and were supposed to be smashing up something else. What exactly happened to the concept of paying for your mistakes, in the business world?

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

I'm pretty sure we'll see a vol.2 and 3 Chronicles before too long. (i.e. in the next 10 years)

 

Dylan has to retire (or semi retire) from performing at some point...he's a compulsive writer and a damn hard worker, so apart from the usual womanizing I can't imagine what else he'd do with all the free time.

 

 

Why?

 

Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker were kicking it until the kicked it.

[jc4prez]

I wish dylan would semi-retire. Ive seen im about 15 times now and although i still have fun he has lost it since larry left the band. I wish he be more like tom waits at this point occasionaly doing shows that are highly inspired.

There's some law (at least in Massachusetts) that the customer has the right to pay the advertised price no matter what it is, if the company marks it as the wrong price it doesn't matter. I don't know if this applies online or whatever, but I do remember last year my dad was quite excited after he bought a ton of lamb because they had accidentally marked it as 15 cents/lb at the supermarket.

[jc4prez]

i was under the same impression. MY girlfriend said she though they wouldnt sell them at that price sure enough she was right but ive herd airlines have gotten screwed by these type of makes.

My guess is: when Bob Dylan dies, and probably Robbie Robertson too.

Mine too....

 

Robbie didn't kill Manuel; Manuel killed Manuel. Sadly mental illness knows no boundries. Robbie may be a tool but the guy wrote some great songs and helped make the Band what they were. They had a great run, what else do we need. Hell even the Beatles didn't stay together forever. Sadly the Band DID continue without Robbie and the result was not always pretty.
