Even benieuwd: waarom heet het nummer 'Open the Door, Homer', terwijl ene Richard gesommeerd wordt open te doen? Is het iets met Homerus of zo?

Wie zingt 'Yazoo Street Scandal'? Klinkt zelfs een beetje als Paul McCartney!

Dat wordt een extra uitgave van circa 120 eur in november...

Compiled with help from Band member Garth Hudson and restored by producer Jan Haust, the collection combines what's being described as "every salvageable recording from the tapes, including recently discovered early gems recorded in the 'Red Room' of Dylan's home in upstate New York." These recordings were sequenced according to Hudson's numbering system and moves from country songs written by artists like Johnny Cash, Hank Williams and Harlan Howard to Curtis Mayfield R&B, traditional rearrangements and plenty of originals.

Even afwachten hoe beluisterenswaardig en essentieel de 6-cd box is voor de "gewone" Dylan-fan

The previously unknown tracks include an epic, apocalyptic rocker, "Wild Wolf"; an early draft of "I Shall Be Released" with slightly different lyrics; a cover of Hank Williams' 1949 classic "My Bucket's Got a Hole In It"; and country-fied versions of "Blowin' in the Wind," "It Ain't Me Babe" and "One Too Many Mornings," featuring Band keyboardist Richard Manuel handling lead vocals on the first verse. "The stuff that people haven't heard justifies, in every way, shape and form, all the hype, hubris and myth that surrounds these tapes," says folk musician and writer Sid Griffin, who wrote the liner notes for this new collection (which is also being released as a two-disc version and three-LP set). "Some of this stuff is mind-boggling."

En dan, om het mirakel van deze uitgave kracht bij te zetten, meldt Columbia ons:
Dat laatste zinnetje intrigeert. Toch weer iemand de zolder opgeruimd ...

The 20 reel-to-reel tapes that hold the entire sessions sat in the Woodstock home of the Band's Garth Hudson until about ten years ago, when he sold them to Canadian collector Jan Haust. Dylan's office cut a deal with Haust that allowed the tapes to finally come out officially. "They had deteriorated some and a few reels were missing," says a source close to the Dylan camp. "We had to find copies of a few on cassette and DATs." Through painstaking research, and a little guesswork, the songs are presented in roughly the order they were taped, though a series of half-completed or poorly recorded tracks reside on the final disc. The material has also been remastered and sounds infinitely better than even the best bootlegs. "Everything is coming out, besides four or five things that just sound like distortion," says the source. "We usually curate these packages more, but we knew the fans would be disappointed if we didn't put out absolutely everything."

Als ik afga op de tracklist ben ik niet heel enthousiast. Toch veel nummers waarvan een take 1 en take 2 achter elkaar zijn gezet in combinatie met nummers zonder overdubs.
