Bob Dylan - Fragments—Time Out of Mind Sessions (1996-1997) The Bootleg Series, Vol. 17 [5 CD, 2023/FLAC-HD 24-96]


'Fragments—Time Out of Mind Sessions (1996-1997)' shows how Dylan made his first late-career classic. 

Most editions of Bob Dylan’s three-decades-and-running Bootleg Series focus on a particular phase of his career, but a few have zoomed in on the making of an especially hallowed record. As its title makes clear, that’s the case with Fragments—Time Out of Mind Sessions (1996-1997), the 17th volume in the series. That one album is blown out into a five-disc package, which includes two full sets of unissued outtakes and another of live recordings from the Dylan-comes-alive tours that followed in the record’s wake.


Disc One – Time Out of Mind (2022 Remix)

Disc Four – Live (1998-2001)
Disc Five – Bonus Disc (Previously Released on The Bootleg Series Vol. 8: Tell Tale Signs: Rare and Unreleased 1989–2006)
