New Bob Dylan "Bootleg Series" due, along with mono box set

"The Bootleg Series Volume 9 - The Witmark Demos," the latest collection of previously unreleased Bob Dylan recordings, will be in stores on Oct. 19 -- the same date that Columbia Records plans to release a box set containing mono versions of Dylan's first eight albums.
According to Columbia, "The Witmark Demos" contains 47 Dylan songs recorded in 1962 for his first publisher, Leeds Music, and between 1962 and 1964 for his second publisher, M. Witmark & Sons. He sings and accompanies himself on guitar, harmonica and occasionally piano. All of the songs on the album were written before Dylan's 24th birthday. The tracklisting is below.
"The Witmark Demos" includes 15 Dylan originals that never have been officially released to the public previously, including "Ballad For A Friend," "Long Ago, Far Away," "The Death Of Emmett Till," and "Guess I'm Doing Fine."
The box set "Bob Dylan - The Original Mono Recordings" will mark the first time Dylan's first eight albums have been available in mono on compact disc. Both sets will be available on CD and on fully analog, 180-gram vinyl.
Both sets include deluxe booklets containing vintage photos. "The Witmark Demos" features in-depth liner notes by music historian Colin Escott, while "The Original Mono Recordings" includes an "expansive" essay by music critic Greil Marcus, according to a press release.
As usual, Dylan is currently on tour. His itinerary is at right.
