Baffling, but also interesting. The new Dylan bootleg series release has been announced:

[www.rollingstone.com]

that bootleg stuff is pretty strong.

"Sets for Blood on the Tracks and Blonde on Blonde will eventually come out. When fans hear the Blonde on Blonde set, they'll realize that the real hero of the sessions was pianist Paul Griffin. . . There will also be a Basement Tapes box one day. We're trying to get the best sources on all the Basement Tapes. That'll happen one day, absolutely."

That's what i want to hear as well as a multi-disc 1966 world tour set featuring everything left in the vaults or on film soundtrack tapes. The earlier No Direction Home set and royal albert hall set is not enough. That's got to be one of the best tours by anyone ever. Fancy playing some of the most brilliant songs of the era with a shit hot band and getting booed,slow hand-clapped and derided as Judas while delivering such fine performances.

Wow, wow and more wow. I can't wait. And to know that Blood On The Tracks, Blonde On Blonde and The Basement Tapes material is coming is simply too much. I'm gonna go out to have a beer and celebrate now.

I hope someday they'll consider the Christian Era shows for official release.

10 Hail Marys and we'll forgive you for that.

Lol. I knew that wouldn't be a popular opinion, but his playing in that era was very focused and fervent. I have a bootleg DVD of Massey Hall, which is incredible. Obviously a major letdown for the audiences on that tour having to hear all new material and considering the subject. But in retrospect, it certainly is a fascinating chapter in his career.

what's this shit?

Good grief.....this was known 1 year ago; I was just waiting to say Good grief....
Hey Bob: get over to 1978 the next time!

Cool, wish the stones would reissue the back catalog as well as Dylan ..... No overdubs

Looked at the track listing, and we still miss someone: the sessions with Johnny Cash were recorded in the same time-frame.

On the Amnesty Dylan compilation, there's an overdubbed version of One Too Many Mornings by Cash and Dylan, with the Avett Brothers, yet Sony cannot issue the non-overdubbed version on this set ? I wonder why.

Greatest announcement since 'She shot me down' by Frank Sinatra...

I already have two copies of the 1969 Isle of Wight show on vinyl.

Looks like a great set. I am especially happy about the New Morning stuff. And yes, I too am very anxious to get the Blood on the Tracks, Blond on Blond,and the Basement Tapes stuff. And come on 78! No mention of that yet.

Can't wait, especially to hear a better mix of the Isle Of Wight show and the George Harrison session (first I have heard that they were waiting for ELVIS to show up!). CBS first hinted at a Blood On The Trdacks release when Biograph came out. We're still waiting. But if this and Blone On Blonde see the light of day, I will be in heaven.

There will be a 3-LP set too.

And a fourth CD with a remasterd version of Self Portrait.

In a parallel universe, in another age, the Stones vaults gets the proper treatment...

I can't wait to hear this as well as the Isle Of Wight 1969 with The Band in high quality. Something to look forward to!

"Pretty Saro" from Bootleg Series, Vol. 10 : Another Self Portrait (1969-1971)

Interesting article from one critic, entitled, "The Laboratory of the Cutting Room Floor: Anticipating Bob Dylan's Another Self Portrait."

---

Self Portrait suffers from the sense that Dylan is playing the songs to himself rather than to the listener.

But the samples I’ve heard on Another Self Portrait, from Eric Anderson’s “Thirsty Boots” and Tom Paxton’s “Annie’s Gonna Sing Her Song,” actually reach out to an audience. You hear the threads of what not only came to define the musical territory Dylan had already been mining to that point, but also what would later become the Bob Dylan Theme Time Radio Hour on satellite radio. On that program Dylan, as the host, took us on musical journeys through the history of American music – blues, jazz, show-tunes, rock and folk – using a theme like ‘the weather’ as the clothes line on which he hung the songs. On Another Self Portrait, he also extends to his listeners the country sound he was immersed in with his previous album, Nashville Skyline, by reminding us (as he had on the infamous The Basement Tapes) that his music was not narrowed by the social protests of the topical song. In his mind, the American songbook is an evolving and expanding catalogue tracing a map of the nation’s struggles and triumphs.

Another Self Portrait could very well be the album that Self Portrait wasn’t. It may compare to how Good As I Been to You (1992) and World Gone Wrong (1993) set Dylan up for his series of records (Time Out of Mind, Love and Theft) that brought his voice back to its authentic sound. In those two early Nineties records, Dylan revisited the songs of his youth, earlier versions of the America that would help him come to terms with the country he was living in now. He then set forth to mine his own path with those tracks (“World Gone Wrong,” “Black Jack Davey”) as skeleton keys for his own (“Not Dark Yet,” “High Water (for Charley Patton)”). But we already know that the history that followed those sessions led into the eventual aimlessness that Good As I Been to You got him out of. The only authentic thing about Self Portrait was its portrait of an artist in hiding. What Another Self Portrait might just reveal is more of what Dylan was actually hiding from.

I like it! If these songs are void of the weird production that marred Self Portrait this could be a surprisingly good release. Looking forward to giving this a spin!

I'm nowhere close to having explored all of Dylans catalog, so Self Portrait wasn't exactly next in line. There are whole eras I've yet to get around to. I've heard about it, though. Should be interesting. I'll get this one first.

It's surely amazing that so much not circulated songs finaly will see the light....is it really true that there could be the same case with studio-songs recorded as outtakes from Blonde on blonde...????

Oh no if it ain't Jude Quinn......



ROCKMAN

Always thought the Blood on the Tracks outtakes bootleg was far superior to the official release, so really looking forward to this. About time the Stones opened up the vaults rather than the miserly trickle we are being fed.

I agree wholeheartedly. Lots of unreleased songs from that era. Hopefully a dvd of Massey Hall as well. There's an album in the vaults titled SOLID ROCK that was supposed to have preceded SAVED.

But back to this release, here's the demo of "Wigwam" released on 7" on Record Store Day:
