Here’s some more information about the album and pre-release activities.
You will have seen the far from informative Press Release and then, hopefully, had a look at the album cover on bobdylan.com together with the interview with Bill Flanagan. What you’ve seen is just the first of what will be 5 or 6 weekly episodes. Additional episodes will go out on bobdylan.com but will also be aired via other media – to be determined. A written version is likely to be serialised. “Beyond Here Lies Nothing” is seen as the focal track and will be aired on the radio from March 31st. From that date it will also be available on iTunes. The album will come in 3 formats -
1.Standard version, in jewelcase with 4-panel booklet
2. Deluxe version, in a slipcase, containing the standard album in a jewelcase plus a DVD featuring an interview with Roy Silver, Dylan’s first manager, which is an outtake from the ‘No Direction Home’ documentary. Included in the interview is the original demo (audio only) of “Blowin’ In The Wind”. There will also be a CD in the slipsleeve featuring the ‘Friends and Neighbors’ episode of Dylan’s Theme Time Radio Hour. There will also be a sticker and poster featuring the album cover image
3. 2LP, pressed on 180 gram vinyl and including the album on CD, as an insert.
4. iTunes – details to be announced but with the one track available early as above. There will not be an iTunes version of the bonus DVD tracks.
There should be a promotional video of “Beyond Here Lies Nothing” at some stage as well as a promotional 7” with “Beyond Here Lies Nothing” on the A-side and a live version of “Down Along The Cove” (from Bonnaroo) on the B-side.
