Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Book-ended with an embryonic recording made by a high school friend and a live, boisterous take of "Like a Rolling Stone" less than seven years later, the fifth release in the Bob Dylan Bootleg series (and the soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's Dylan documentary of the same name) proffers just how far the folk idol turned rock star had come between his last year in a Minnesota high school and 1966's contentious UK tour. The double CD is sequenced chronologically and features 26 rare and unreleased recordings (most between 1961 and 1966), including 1959's muddied "When I Got Troubles,' reportedly the first song Dylan ever put to tape, and Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land," performed live soon after Dylan's arrival in New York. While the usual suspects are present--"Don't Think Twice It's Alright," "Masters of War," "Mr. Tambourine Man"--this collection unravels the unexpected, including an outtake from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan ("Sally Gal"), captivating alternate takes of "She Belongs To Me," "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry" and "Visions of Johanna" (with full band) and the ripping electric version of "Maggie's Farm" that throttled the 1965 Newport Folk Festival and carried Dylan over the genre-influencing threshold into generation-altering icon status. --Scott Holter

From the Label
This latest edition in the critically acclaimed "Bootleg Series" is the companion soundtrack to the two-part feature-length film, "No Direction Home: Bob Dylan," a Martin Scorsese picture.

The two-CD chronologically sequenced package contains 28 Bob Dylan tracks--26 of them previously unreleased--comprised of rare private recordings, live concert, television and festival recordings, and 12 alternate takes of songs from his Columbia LP recording sessions in New York and Nashville during this period. The songs range in time from 1959 (a high school recording of "When I Got Troubles," most likely the first original song he ever recorded), to 1966 (alternate takes of "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat" and "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again" from the "Blonde on Blonde" album recording sessions, as well as "Ballad of a Thin Man" and "Like A Rolling Stone" from the legendary 1966 UK tour).

Many of the songs or tracks are introduced in the film for the first time in history, or are representative of times and places covered in the film, while others are alternate takes of classic tracks that were unearthed during the making of the film. For example, the version of Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land" performed in 1961, at the intimate Carnegie Chapter Hall in New York City, was never known to have existed on any tape until now.

On the other hand, the No Direction Home film version of "Mr. Tambourine Man" is taken from the Newport Folk Festival, July 1964; while the CD version presents--for the first time--the first complete take of the song with Ramblin' Jack Elliott, recorded at Columbia Studios the month before. The track is then followed on the CD by "Chimes of Freedom" from Newport '64.

Archivists and researchers reviewed more than 400 hours of recordings by Bob Dylan in the preparation of No Direction Home. The two CDs will be packaged with a 60-page color book housed in a slipcase. The book will include separate liner notes written by Andrew Loog Oldham, and Al Kooper who sheds light on the "Highway 61 Revisited" and "Blonde on Blonde" recording sessions in New York and Nashville (for which he played organ and served as musical director). An authoritative track-by-track delineation is also included.

The first feature-length film biography ever produced on the artist, No Direction Home is narrated in its entirety by Dylan. In addition to hours of black-and-white and color archival footage and photography, it features exclusive interviews with Joan Baez, photographer John Cohen of the New Lost City Ramblers, Allen Ginsberg, Tony Glover, Al Kooper, Bruce Langhorne, Paul Nelson, Suze Rotolo, Pete Seeger, Dave Van Ronk, Izzy Young of the Folklore Center, and many others.

Recorded October 26, 1963 at Carnegie Hall, New York City.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ghost of Electricity, 15 Sep 2005
By SJOxford "SJOxford" (Oxford, England) - See all my reviews
It says something about the state of the current rock scene that a series of outtakes and live tracks from the early sixties comprise the most important new release this year. It is, however, Bob Dylan we're talking about and here on these discs we get the genesis and formation of that "wild mercury sound" achieved in its fullest sense on "Blonde on Blonde". The first disc is acoustic, oddities and rarities, amongst them a plangent, ethereal reading of 'Blowin' in the Wind' that brings a whole new perspective to a song heard so often we have become immune to its charms.
It is when you crack open the case and get to the second disc that the fireworks begin. The version of 'Maggies Farm' that had the bearded folkies reaching for the axe to cut the cable and the 'Judas' Rolling Stone from Manchester are here as twin pillars of the electric citadel that Dylan was constructing, but the real stand out track is a studio version of 'Visions of Johanna' that riproars into your brain and takes root in its darkest place; so much more powerful than the released version, ominous, scarred and bleak. Listen to the wail of fury and angst with which Dylan completes the track - primeval, desperate and racked with pain: that moment alone justifies buying the album - truly one of the greatest vocal moments in the history of music!
The packaging is a delight, a great essay from Al Kooper explaining the skeletal version of 'Desolation Row' and outtakes too of some famous album covers, Freewheelin', Bringing It all Back Home and Blonde on Blonde, plus unpublished studio shots and that spooky cover shot near Aust & the Severn Bridge on what is now the M4.
Here we have a document that is testimony to the genius and sheer power of the man and his music, two dozen aural snapshots of the artist at the peak of his powers, strident, voracious and spine-chilling. The best 40 year old new album ever!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what it says on the tin, 28 Sep 2005
By happysad "happysad" (London, England) - See all my reviews
This is a good CD for anyone who is vaguely familiar with Bob's 60's output (although there are better ones out there), but let me warn you: a soundtrack to the movie it ain't. Now I've seen the documentary I realise that there are dozens of extraordinary performances on there that aren't on this album - and it's much impoverished for that. The biggest omission is the Newport Folk Festival stuff from '65. We get Maggie's Farm and that's it, when on the film he goes on to play 2 more electric numbers, both of which exist in their entirety. Then there's his incredible response to their heckling - a devastating farewell to folk music with the live It's All Over Now... again, left off the album.
The Blonde On Blonde outtakes are good but bizarre given that the film completely ignores it. And so it goes on. It seems that as ever the fools that oversee these things have gone for 'sound quality' over significance. Shame on them and shame on the marketing people who are peddling this as a soundtrack. Luckily, it's Bob Dylan and I just have to hear him tune up and I get inspired.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maximum Bob, 6 Sep 2005
By Allan Mcfadyen "allanmcfadyen" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a must have for all Bob fans but newcomers may want to start elsewhere. The alternate takes are superb and it is a real pleasure to hear the young Bob engaging in some delightful banter with his audiences. I have a fair collection of boots but amazingly I only have four of the tracks on this truly superb collection. Don't miss this chance to hear a giant at the peak of his literal and musical inventiveness. It would be unfair to single out one song on this collection but Dink's Song is a real treasure. Listen and enjoy!!
