Legacy
Recordings and Columbia Records have announced the release of the Bob Dylan
Complete Album Collection Vol. One, a colossal box set encompassing the entire
official discography of the American songwriter-performer who's revolutionized
folk, pop and rock music over the past half century with a profoundly
influential catalog of songs and sounds.
Bob Dylan Complete Album Collection Vol. One will be available on Tuesday,
November 5, 2013. Discover it here.
Beginning
with tracks recorded for his eponymous 1962 Columbia Records debut album, the
Bob Dylan Complete Album Collection Vol. One follows Dylan's restless
transformations across six decades as a singer, a songwriter, a concert
performer and a studio artist who's continually finding fresh ways of
expressing and exploring the varieties of human experience, worldly and other,
with music. Bob Dylan Complete Album Collection Vol. One brings together for
the first time, on two "Side Tracks" discs, a wealth of previously
released non-album singles, tracks from Biograph and other compilations, songs
from films and more.
The CD
boxed set contains 35 studio titles (including the first-ever North American
release of 1973's Dylan album on CD), 6 live albums, the 2-CD "Side
Tracks," and a hardcover book featuring extensive new album-by-album liner
notes penned by Clinton Heylin and a new introduction written by Bill Flanagan.
The Bob Dylan Complete Album Collection Vol. One will be available as a
limited-edition harmonica-shaped USB stick containing all the music, in both
MP3 and FLAC lossless formats, with a digital version of the hardcover booklet,
housed in a deluxe numbered box.
Each of
the albums in the Bob Dylan Complete Album Collection Vol. One is being made
available in state-of-the-art sound, with 14 titles* remastered especially for
this set. Coinciding with the release of the Bob Dylan Complete Album
Collection Vol. One, four
decade-specific digital album collections--Bob Dylan - The Complete Album
Collection - The 60's, The 70's, The 80's, The 90's - 00's--will be released as
online downloads. A fifth digital album
collection, Bob Dylan - The Original Mono Recordings, the artist's first 8
studio albums in mono, will also be released as downloads.
Dylan is
currently enjoying the critical and commercial success of The Bootleg Series,
Vol. 10 - Another Self Portrait (1969-1971), the latest release in the
acclaimed Bootleg Series of previously unreleased live and studio
recordings. The Bob Dylan Complete Album
Collection Vol. Two, slated for release next year, will compile the entire
Bootleg Series for the first time.
Bob
Dylan and his band will be touring Europe and the UK this fall beginning with a
concert in Oslo on October 10.
"There
is not a bigger giant in the history of American music," said President
Barack Obama when presenting Dylan with the nation's highest civilian honor at
the Presidential Medal of Freedom Ceremony on May 29, 2012. "A modern-day troubadour, Bob Dylan
established himself as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th
century. The rich poetry of his lyrics
opened up new possibilities for popular song and inspired generations. His melodies have brought ancient traditions
into the modern age. More than 50 years
after his career began, Bob Dylan remains an eminent voice in our national
conversation and around the world."
Bob
Dylan is perhaps the only recording artist to receive the Presidential Medal of
Freedom, a Pulitzer Prize (a special citation awarded in 2008 for "his
profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical
compositions of extraordinary poetic power"), an Academy Award for Best
Original Song ("Things Have Changed") alongside multiple Grammy
Awards.
