The Traveling Wilburys - The Traveling Wilburys Collection (2 CD, 2007) [FLAC + 24/192]

 The Traveling Wilburys Collection is a box set compilation album by the British-American supergroup the Traveling Wilburys. It comprises the two studio albums recorded by the band in 1988 and 1990, with additional bonus tracks, and a DVD containing their music videos and a documentary about the group. The box set was released on 11 June 2007 by Rhino, in association with Wilbury Records.

The release was overseen by George Harrison's estate, as the rights holder for the Wilburys' catalogue, and ensured that the band's recordings were available for the first time since they went out of print in the mid 1990s. Two of the bonus tracks were completed for the box set by Jeff Lynne, who co-founded the Wilburys in 1988, and Harrison's son Dhani. The Traveling Wilburys Collection was commercially successful, topping albums charts in Britain, Ireland, Australia and several other countries. 

Bob Dylan - 50th Anniversary Collection: 1965 [14 CD live, 2015) [FLAC + 320]

Another copyright protection collection not available to the wider public, this time 1965 live. Sheffield concert is complete for the first time, although everything else was previously circulated in the similar quality, obviously from the same sources. The only missing (partial) concert that was circulated and not included here was Arie Crown, Chicago, November 26, plus the rest of Newport Festival set from July 25. Also, in the official notes the personnel were mixed-up: Barry Goldberg played piano, not organ, Al Kooper never played bass but organ, and bass was played by Jerome Arnold.

 

Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited (1965 - 2015 Remaster) [SACD ISO]

Highway 61 Revisited is the sixth studio album by singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. It was released in August 1965 by Columbia Records. On his previous album, Bringing It All Back Home, Dylan devoted Side One of the album to songs accompanied by an electric rock band, and Side Two to solo acoustic numbers. For Highway 61 Revisited, Dylan used rock backing on every track, except for the closing 11-minute acoustic song, “Desolation Row”. Critics have written that Dylan’s ability to combine driving, complex, blues-based rock music with the power of poetry, made Highway 61 Revisited one of the most influential albums ever recorded.

Bob Dylan - Going Going Guam (The Complete Rolling Thunder Rehearsals) (4 CD, 2002) [FLAC]

The Rolling Thunder Revue was a 1975–1976 concert tour by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan with numerous musicians and collaborators. The purpose of the tour was to allow Dylan, who had now become a major recording artist and concert performer, to play in smaller auditoriums in less populated cities where he could be more intimate with his audiences.

Bob Dylan studio discography 1962-2020 [FLAC]

Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941) is an American singer-songwriter, musician, poet, film director and painter. He has been a major and profoundly influential figure in popular music and culture for five decades. Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s when he was an informal chronicler and a seemingly reluctant figurehead of social unrest. A number of his early songs such as "Blowin' in the Wind" and "The Times They Are a-Changin'" became anthems for the US civil rights and anti-war movements. Leaving his initial base in the culture of folk music behind, Dylan proceeded to revolutionize perceptions of the limits of popular music in 1965 with the six-minute single "Like a Rolling Stone". Dylan performs with guitar, keyboards, and harmonica. Backed by a changing line-up of musicians, he has toured steadily since the late 1980s on what has been dubbed the Never Ending Tour. His accomplishments as a recording artist and performer have been central to his career, but his greatest contribution is generally considered to be his songwriting.

Bob Dylan - The Rolling Thunder Revue - The 1975 Live Recordings [14 CD, 2019] [FLAC]

 

The Rolling Thunder Revue era in Bob Dylan’s career maintains a central place apparently. The 14-disc Rolling Thunder Revue: The 1975 Live Recordings is the third release in his catalogue to document it. The first was Hard Rain, for a 1978 television special. 2002’s double-disc Bootleg Volume 5 compiled selected performances from the first leg of the tour. This box offers five complete Dylan concerts from 1975: four from Massachusetts, one from Montreal, three discs of rehearsals, and a disc of rarities. 119 of 148 tracks were previously unreleased. 

Bob Dylan - The Rundown Rehearsal Tapes (4 CD, 2002) [FLAC]

During the winter months of 1978, Bob Dylan conducted rehearsals for his upcoming 115-date world tour in downtown Santa Monica's aptly named Rundown Studios. Captured for posterity by engineers Arthur Rosato and Joel Bernstein, the Rundown tapes represent a remarkably panoramic window into Dylan's creative process as he reinvents his classic songs via improvised lyrics and arrangements that gradually transform the raw, fiery melodies into larger-than-life pop fantasias seemingly earmarked for the casino ballrooms of Las Vegas.

 The four-CD bootleg box set The Rundown Rehearsal Tapes is an embarrassment of riches for the serious Dylan enthusiast, encompassing virtually every landmark in his storied songbook as well as some new compositions and a handful of traditional blues standards that never made it past the rehearsal stage. Even then-recent songs like "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" and "If You See Her, Say Hello" are completely reinvented into forms barely recognizable from their familiar studio LP renditions. Perhaps most noteworthy is the fourth disc, recorded in April as an audition for bassist Jerry Scheff. Both "We'd Better Talk This Over" and "Coming from the Heart" make their debut, and while the former later resurfaced on Street Legal, the latter soon disappeared forever. Sound quality is somewhat erratic, but the sheer volume and consistency of the material makes it mandatory listening regardless of its flaws.

 

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 Two – Outtakes and Alternates

Disc Three – Outtakes and Alternates

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)

Bob Dylan - The Broadcast Collection 1961-1965 (5 CD, 2019) [FLAC]

 The Broadcast Collection is a unique collection of Bob Dylan's live broadcast sessions between 1961 and 1965 in New York, Chicago, Mineapolis and Montreal. Bob Dylan’s recording at Bonnie Beecher’s Apartment is a famous “home” tape of Dylan. Large portions of this tape appeared on the first Dylan bootleg album, the legendary Great White Wonder. The Broadcast Collection also includes the live broadcast at Finjan Club Montreal 1962. The tape features one of Dylan’s most powerful original blues The incredible Finjan tape belongs in every collection.

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Dirt Does Dylan (2022/FLAC)

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band have released Dirt Does Dylan, a 10-track album highlighting songs from Bob Dylan’s catalog. The recording, which arrived on May 20, 2022, features three new band members alongside founders Jeff Hanna and Jimmie Fadden, and Bob Carpenter, who joined in 1980: fiddler Ross Holmes; singer-songwriter and bass player Jim Photoglo (who wrote one of the Dirt Band’s biggest hits, “Fishin’ in the Dark”) and Hanna’s son, singer and guitarist Jaime Hanna.

Produced and recorded by Ray Kennedy at Room & Board Studio in Nashville, Dirt Does Dylan, says a Apr. 7 press release, “finds a generation-spanning Dirt Band paying an appropriately great tribute to arguably the greatest songwriter of the 20th century with the help of friends like Jason Isbell, the War & Treaty, Steve Earle and Rosanne Cash.”
