• Bob Dylan Sings, and Talks, on These Tapes From 62 Years Ago (The New York Times) [8]
  • ““Handwritten on the boxes are ‘Bob Dylan 1, 2 and 3.’ I’m going, What’s this? He goes, ‘I’m not entirely sure.’ He said: ‘There was a pile of boxes of tapes by the incinerator, and these were on the top — and you know how I like Bob Dylan. So I asked the engineer, What’s going on?’”
• Dylan Tapes Don’t Sell (NY Times) [5]
  • “The tapes of Bob Dylan’s first album that we wrote about in Monday’s New York Today were not sold at auction. A spokeswoman for Sony Music Entertainment, of which Columbia is now a subsidiary, noted that the tapes in question — which a sculptor who now lives in Detroit has had since the 1960s — are not unique copies and that the original reels are not lost. Sony Music’s archives has the original versions.”
• Chalamet Rerecords ‘Wonka’ Song after Channeling Bob Dylan (USA Today) [5]
  • “‘There’s a hard rain that’s gonna fall.’ And I really couldn’t resist doing it (as Dylan). It was totally improper, but I was dying for it to be stuck in there. It’s one of the lines that we had to rerecord.”
• Jeff Kramer’s Bob Dylan Interview Primer (Peter Stone Brown Archives) [10]
  • “Do not treat him like a God. It wigs him out. / Don’t ask who Mr. Jones is or the motorcycle crash, any of that corny Dylanologist stuff.”
• A Deep Dive Into Bob Dylan Setlist Data (Flagging Down The Double E’s) [10]
  • “We looked at not only which years had the most/least variation, but which had the most/least covers — both total performed and unique songs covered —how many total songs Dylan would usually perform a night, and more.”
• Waterboys to Release Instrumental Written by Bob Dylan (Yahoo!) [8]
  • “The song, Meridian West, was first played by Edinburgh-born Scott and his band in 1985, when Dylan invited them to Dave Stewart’s recording studio in north London.”

The latest Bob Dylan Copyright Release took place this week. A limited number of CD’s were sold (likely about 200). These releases are meant to protect and extend copyright for material that Sony/Dylan doesn’t want to fall into the public domain.
