Rumoured 40Cd Box Set


A longer version of this report has been published in our ISIS newsletter which was mailed to subscribers last week. We seek more information on this matter for ISIS #151, the deadline for which is in approximately three weeks.



On Wednesday, 9 June 2010, on a Tampa Bay, Florida, arts page blog, John Fleming of the St. Petersburg Times said he’d recently conducted an interview with Didier Deutsch, whose name can be found on a number of Dylan album releases. The post mainly concerned various Broadway show original cast album releases. In the preamble to the interview, he mentioned that Deutsch had said that he was currently working on a 40-CD Bob Dylan box-set. On being contacted, Mr Fleming replied that Mr Deutsch had said he was working on a Bob Dylan project, right now, for Legacy Recordings - a 40-CD box-set, to comprise Dylan’s complete output, minus one album, with 2 CDs of bonus material. No other details were given, so we don’t know how Legacy counted Dylan’s Columbia albums nor what bonus material might be included. As for that “minus one album”, we assume that the phrase refers to 1973’s “Dylan” release. However, enquiries elsewhere indicate that, while this work may well be on-going, Sony has no plans to release the set. It seems the project was cancelled, in terms of an actual release, some time ago but, if Didier Deutsch is still working it, this suggests that the mastering stage, having been started, is being completed.

Presumably, this will allow Sony to stockpile the mastered albums for future use. So, if Sony’s planned a 40-CD box-set Bob Dylan has now put that on ice, what plans does it have? There are two other Dylan projects on-going at present. One is an 8-CD set of Dylan’s earliest albums in mono. The other is the next Bootleg Series release, as mentioned in ISIS # 150 (on page 9 and page 18). No release date has yet been set for either but both projects are being prepared for release around the same time, later this year. In respect of the next Bootleg Series release, rumours some time back suggested a set of non-live recordings, well-known to collectors but in better quality, but nothing has been confirmed at the time of writing (mid-June 2010) and Sony’s plans could change meanwhile. Anyone able to refute or add further details to any of the above should contact: [email protected]

For anyone unfamiliar with the Witmark Demos & Leeds Music Demos, the track listings of the circulating recordings are as follows (These are different versions than those released on Bob's early albums and the sound quality on the circulating Witmark demos varies from near excellent to decent. Certainly an official release would be a significant upgrade in quality)

I'll Keep it With Mine
Mama You Been on My Mind (guitar)
Mama You Been on My Mind (piano)
Mr Tambourine Man

This is a large and impressive body of studio work that took place over the course of a couple of years. The purpose of these sessions was to record demos for Witmark Publishing of songs that other artists might be interested in performing. Some of these songs were later released by Dylan, but not the versions here though. The most famous of these include Blowing In the Wind, Mr. Tambourine Man, Hard Rain, etc. Others were recorded at later CBS album sessions but not released, such as Tomorrow Is a Long Time, Farewell, Seven Curses, etc. Then there are the more obscure songs: Long Ago, Far Away, Guess I'm Doing Fine, Bound To Lose, Ain't Gonna Grieve. It's easy to see why these more obscure songs remain obscure. They just weren't that good. Of the more familiar songs that appear here, I'm convinced that these sound every bit as good, if not better, than the officially released versions. Plus there are some real unusual things here, such as piano demos of Mr. Tambourine Man, When the Ship Comes In, Mama You Been On My Mind, and The Times They Are A-Changin', among others. - http://www.punkhart.com/dylan/tapes/62-witmark.html

Dylan to unveil new paintings in Denmark
2 hrs 4 mins ago

COPENHAGEN (AFP) – American music legend Bob Dylan, who has turned to painting in his later years, will unveil a new set of works in Copenhagen next month, the National Gallery of Denmark announced Monday.

Some 40 acrylic paintings and eight drawings from Dylan's "Brazil Series" created especially for Denmark's largest museum, also known as the Statens Museum for Kunst, will go on display from September 4 to January 30.

"It was an honor to be asked and a thrilling challenge," said the 68-year-old folk music icon better known for his songs such as "Mr Tambourine Man" and "Blowin' in the Wind".
"I chose Brazil as a subject because I have been there many times and I like the atmosphere," Dylan said in a statement published by the museum.

His new paintings "show the scenes from daily life in the cities, the slums and the countryside in Brazil where Bob Dylan has been several times," the museum's curator and director, Kaspar Monrad told AFP.
The collection includes depictions of wine growers, gypsies, politicians, gamblers and gangsters, "underlying the artist's fascination for the diversity of this country," Monrad added.
Dylan's style was "inspired by American realism from the start of the 20th century and deep affinity with painters... such as Matisse in the 1920s," the curator said.

It was the Danish museum that contacted Dylan's agent at the end of 2008 to invite him to paint a new set of works for the gallery, which Dylan worked on between 2009 and the first half of this year.
"I've been to the National Gallery of Denmark and it definitely is an impressive art museum. It was more than a little surprising when I was asked to create works specifically for this museum," Dylan said.
Dylan displayed his last canvas collection "Drawn Blank Series" in Germany in 2007 and in Britain in 2008.

Bob is in his prime.  The song and dance man.  I've never seen him do what he's been doing.  All coming together since Charlie rejoined.  He's gonna croon for ya'!   

Thanks for the Kansas City link MRD8!  That show was stunning.

It's been almost twenty years since Bob Dylan played The Warfield and in my opinion, he is an Artist that needs no big promotions or hoopla.  He comes, he plays, and it's an incredible experience."

Well, the only one who'd normally be likely to make an appearance is playing in England at present.

Martha - I thought YOUR need to see Bob was off the deep end, but a friend of mine, John Hume (who has published several books of photos taken at Dylan shows and has an endless supply of hilarious tales of his experiences) takes the biscuit, I think.

Was out for a couple of drinks with him yesterday - I'd asked him a couple of weeks ago how many Dylan shows he'd seen. He gave me a list yesterday - 340 since his first one at Earls Court in 1978, followed by the 8 UK dates in 1981 and then several per tour since '84. He's seen something like 305 on the Never Ending Tour alone,  and even though he's always lived in Belfast, England or Italy, hes managed to catch Bob in concert in North America 81 times (not since 2005, though). I think he's seen him in something like 45 countries, including shows as far away as Japan.

I think one of his 'proudest' claims is that he's actually been bootlegged by Bob Dylan.

One of his photos was selected by Bob - without his permission - for a US tour poster around 2003.  So he phoned Jeff Rosen, Dylan's manager, to see if he could get a payment for the use of his photo. Rosen thought for a minute and then told him 'well, you never had permission to TAKE the photos to begin with!"

Well I might be the closet Martha. But as I said earlier I'm already going to the Lake Tahoe show. I'm cedrtainly nowhere near the Dylan fan you are. But I can't quite understand the hoopla ove this Warfield show. Yes the Warfield is an absolutely beautiful theatre and a great place to see a show. But Bob has done about 5-6 northern california shows in the last 2 years. Other than the novelty of the ticket selling process and the rumoured special guests(which almost never turns out to happen). I don't get the big deaL.
