Bob Dylan – The Bootleg Series Vol. 18: Through The Open Window, 1956-1963 Highlights (4-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Before he was a legend, he was a kid from Hibbing absorbing everything, Woody Guthrie records, old folk ballads, blues 78s, and early rock and roll, then pouring it all back out in the Greenwich Village folk scene with a velocity that stunned everyone who witnessed it. These earliest years remain the most mythologized and least documented chapter of Dylan's story, making any excavation of the pre-fame archive genuinely revelatory for anyone serious about understanding where it all began.
This next volume in the award-winning Bootleg Series tells the story of Dylan's emergence and maturation as a songwriter and performer, from Minnesota to the Greenwich Village bohemia in the early 1960s. It includes rare Columbia Records outtakes, recordings made at club dates, in tiny informal gatherings, in friends' apartments, and at jam sessions in long-gone musicians' hangouts. The 4LP Highlights edition includes a 24-page book and features 42 tracks, of which 18 are completely unreleased as well as 9 super-rare cuts.
