Bob Dylan's Tell Tale Signs - the 8th instalment in the best-selling and
critically lauded Bootleg Series which launched 1991 - will be released by
Columbia Records on Monday, October 6. A treasure-trove of 27 songs spanning
two discs, Tell Tale Signs features previously unreleased recordings and
alternate versions of tracks from sessions which generated some of Bob
Dylan's most acclaimed and commercially successful albums from the last two
decades, including Time Out Of Mind, Love And Theft, Modern Times and Oh
Mercy.
Today (July 29) also marks the launch of a completely redesigned
bobdylan.com as the ultimate platform for Bob Dylan fan interaction. The site
encompasses music and images from every one of the artist's recordings, and
enables fans to compare their personal journeys and geographies to that of
Bob Dylan, who has traveled the world as a troubadour for more than 40 years.
For a limited time, the site will also feature a free download of "Dreamin'
Of You," one of Tell Tale Signs' many previously unreleased gems. "Dreamin'
Of You" is a fully-produced recording from Dylan's 1997 sessions with
producer Daniel Lanois, which spawned Time Out Of Mind, the 1998 Grammy
Award-winning Album Of The Year.
The two-CD Tell Tale Signs will feature a booklet of rare photos,
extensive liner notes by author Larry "Ratso" Sloman, and complete recording
credits. A limited-edition deluxe three-CD package of Tell Tale Signs will
also be released on October 6, featuring all of the elements of the two-disc
set, plus an exclusive bonus disc of 12 additional rare and unreleased
recordings and a hardcover book of Bob Dylan singles artwork spanning his
entire career. The three-CD package will be presented in a specially-designed
hardcover slipcase.
The collection will also be released in a limited-edition 4-LP set,
pressed on 180-gram vinyl, packaged in a 12" X 12" box, and including all of
the elements of the two-CD set. Disc 1 of Tell Tale Signs will also be
packaged in a stand-alone version, serving as a lower-priced introduction to
The Bootleg Series for new fans.
Previously unreleased songs on Tell Tale Signs include "Red River Shore,"
"Dreamin' of You," and "Marchin' To The City" from the Time Out Of Mind
sessions, plus "I Can't Escape From You," "Duncan & Brady," "Miss The
Mississippi," and "32-20 Blues", Dylan's first ever release of a Robert
Johnson song.
Tell Tale Signs also includes Bob Dylan recordings created for the motion
picture soundtracks of "Lucky You" ("Huck's Tune"), "Gods & Generals"
("Cross The Green Mountain") and "North Country" (an alternate take of "Tell
Ol' Bill").
Rounding out Tell Tale Signs is a selection of outstanding live
performances, including "Girl From The Greenbriar Shore" from 1991; and a
consummate rendering of "High Water (for Charley Patton)" from Niagara in
2003.
Bob Dylan is one of the world's most popular and acclaimed songwriters,
musicians and performers, having sold more than 110 million albums and
performed literally thousands of shows around the world in a career spanning
five decades. His most recent studio album, Modern Times -- lauded by critics
around the world and selling more than 2.5 million copies to date -- entered
the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart at #1, as well as debuting within the Top
Five in 21 other countries. His previous studio albums, Time Out Of Mind and
"Love & Theft", have been among his most commercially successful and
critically lauded, each having sold more than a million copies and earning
Grammy nominations for Album Of The Year (Time Out Of Mind won that award in
1998).
In 2001, he received a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for best song
from a motion picture for "Things Have Changed" from the movie Wonder Boys.
Dylan's Chronicles - Volume I, his recent memoirs released in October, 2004,
was a world-wide best seller, spending 19 weeks on The New York Times
Bestseller List. He was awarded a 'special citation' Pulitzer Prize in 2008
for "his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by
lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power."

than 100 concerts yearly around the globe.
