Bootleg Series Volume 18: Through The Open Window, 1956-1963 chronicles Dylan\u2019s early years as the young singer-songwriter was making a name for himself in the burgeoning folk scene springing out of New York\u2019s Greenwich Village.<\/p>\n Available as an eight-CD box set, two CDs or 4LPs from 31st<\/sup> October, the compilation includes rare and unheard home recordings, studio outtakes and live renditions, with a complete recording of his show at Carnegie Hall in October, 1963, also included. The eight-disc version contains 139 tracks, 48 of which are performances that have never seen the light of day until now.<\/p>\n \u201cOf that time and those places, this collection is just a fragment,\u201d writes author and historian Sean Wilentz in the set\u2019s liner notes. \u201cEven so, as an aural record of an artist becoming himself – or in Dylan\u2019s case, his first of many artistic selves – the collection aims to collapse time and space, not as a nostalgic reverie but as a living connection between the past and the present, the old and the new, which are never as distinct as we might think.\u201d<\/p>\n Listen to a preview song from the set, Rocks And Gravel (Solid Road), below:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
