Bob Dylan’s Eighth “Bootleg Series” Release, “Tell Tale Signs,” Due in October
Bob Dylan will release the eighth installment of his Bootleg Series on October 7th. Tell Tale Signs features unreleased recordings and alternate versions of studio sessions from the last two decades, sessions that ultimately resulted in albums like Time Out of Mind, Love and Theft and Modern Times. The two-disc set will also feature rare live performances.
For a limited time, Bob Dylan’s refurbished Website is offering a free download of “Dreamin’ of You,” culled from Dylan’s 1997 Daniel Lanois-produced Time Out of Mind sessions. Tell Tale Signs will be available as both a two-CD and a four-LP vinyl set, with both versions featuring 27 songs and a 60-page booklet. For the Dylaniacs, there’s the Exclusive Deluxe Edition, which includes the two discs plus a third containing 13 more rare songs, a 150-page photo book of Dylan’s singles from around the world and a 7” vinyl single. The first 5,000 to preorder get a bonus poster for Bob Dylan’s Theme Time Radio Hour. For the entire track list, click after the jump.
