Hot on the heels of the announcement that Dylan’s early Witmark demos are being released as The Bootleg Series Vol. 9 comes this news that Legacy are going to be re-releasing the first 8 of Dylan’s records as a special mono box-set. Spanning 1962′s Bob Dylan to 1967′s John Wesley Harding, The Original Mono Recordings partner The Witmark Demos 1962-4 to showcase the incredible development during 5 pivotal years that sealed Dylan’s reputation as a phenomenon in modern music.
If you’re lucky enough to be close by or in Glasgow this weekend, then head on over to Eastern Promise, a music festival being brought to you by Platform over the 1st and 2nd of October. The lineup includes King Creosote and Malcolm Middleton on Saturday night (as you can see from this here poster).
Middleton will be performing as Human Don’t Be Angry:
“a live performance work-in-progress project, rather than a studio-based recording project. With the focus being on making every performance unique as opposed to striving for the perfect rendition of a repetition. Thank fuck for that.”
Post Rock Brilliance! Official TMS Rating: 9/10. Visit Mono on MySpace.
