VAN MORRISON'S JUKEBOX: The Songs That Inspired the Man      Chrome Dreams

Van Morrison, the man, and his music were profoundly shaped by his early life in Belfast. His songs are populated with Belfast place names: Fitzroy Avenue, Sandy Row, Beechie River, Cherryvalley, North Bridge Road, Abetta Parade, Orangefield, Castlereagh Hills, Cyprus Avenue and, of course, his birthplace, Hyndford Street. It seems that you can take the boy out of Belfast but you can’t take Belfast out of the boy.

This Cd comes complete with a 16-page booklet of notes illustrated with photographs throughout.

THE CLASSIC INTERVIEWS (Box Set)  Chrome Dreams in association with ISIS

Throughout the 60s and 70s, Bob Dylan was an enigmatic if often reclusive star, idolised by many but understood (by his own admittance) by very few. Today, Dylan remains in the public eye, thanks to documentaries, continual touring and a work rate of an artist half his age. The discs in this set offer a glimpse into the world of the poet in the 60s and 70s - providing an intimate access for fans that is unparalleled.

"The first disc contains the interviews Dylan made at press conferences in America in late 1965. They document a time when he was turning his back on acoustic folk, much to many fans' annoyance.

"The second houses the legendary Weberman Tapes, a series of conversations between Dylan and an obsessive who was known to raid the bard's dustbins!

"The final installment date s from 1971, a difficult time in Dylan's life, when he was questioning his religion, and was arguably more forthright and contentious than at any other point in his career.

This is the first time all three discs have been available in one set, and together they provide an enthralling insight into the most significant musical voice of a generation.

Bob Dylan's Jukebox   Chrome Dreams in association with ISIS

“Those songs are my lexicon and prayer book”, Bob Dylan told an interviewer in 1997: “You can find all my philosophy in those old songs “. Dylan was talking about how traditional songs had shaped both his life and his own music. Some might find it a little strange that one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century should rely so heavily on influences from a bygone age. “Strap yourself to a tree with roots” Dylan sang in 1967. After all, if you don’t know where you’re coming from how can you know where you’re going?

Over the years, Bob Dylan has been referred to variously as “a sponge” or as “the blotting paper man” and during his teenage years and throughout the 1960s he soaked up a plethora of influences. some knowingly and others unconsciously. His thirst to discover the origins of songs from a variety of musical genres including country, folk, blues and rock ‘n’ roll was unquenchable and remains so to this day.

This CD brings together a wide-ranging selection of Dylan’s pre and post war influences, his black and white roots - spiritual and secular - through a collection of songs that Dylan has covered on records or has performed live in concert.

From as far back as his early teens it was inevitable that Dylan would become a musician and in his final school yearbook he declared his intention was “To join Little Richard”, which is where this Cd begins....

This Cd comes complete with a 16-page booklet of notes illustrated with photographs throughout.

Bob Dylan’s Jukebox   THE SONGS THAT INSPIRED THE BARD

The Classic Interview Series      Chrome Dreams in association with ISIS

BOB DYLAN: THE CLASSIC INTERVIEW - VOLUME 3, 1979-1981

The interviews contained on this CD cover one of the most important and intriguing junctures in Bob Dylan’s entire career. 1978 had been a harrowing year for Dylan; his marriage had finally broken down and a painful divorce was followed by a long and bitter custody battle in which he lost guardianship of his children. Add to this both the critical and box office failures of his epic film “Renaldo and Clara” and it’s clear that events were not going Dylan’s way. His huge 1978 world tour was in part undertaken as a diversion from these frustrations, but the road brought him little solace and by the final stages of the tour he was at an ail time low - lower even than the time of his 1966 motorcycle accident and the temporary retirement that followed. It was against this background of disappointments and frustrations that one of America’s most celebrated Jews encountered Christ and became Born Again. This collection of interviews gives unique insights into Dylan’s thoughts during this pivotal and highly creative period. Most notably, his comments about the American Atheists Movement are unusually frank and make fascinating listening. This beautifully packaged CD (total playing time: 64 mins approx) is accompanied by a 16 page booklet plus liner notes written by Derek Barker. 

BOB DYLAN: THE CLASSIC INTERVIEW - THE WEBERMAN TAPES 

The infamous 1971 A.J. Weberman interview with Dylan, complete with a 16-page booklet containing rare photographs including a front cover picture by Elliott Landy. A.J Weberman has written an introductory note especially for the CD and there are extensive sleeve notes written by Derek Barker.

BOB DYLAN: THE CLASSIC INTERVIEWS 1965 - 1966

This CD, which brings together recordings of Press Conferences held in San Francisco and Los Angeles during late 1965, and the Martin Bronstein interview from February 1966, is a fascinating look at what Dylan was thinking during this evolutionary and pivotal stage in his career.

"Bob Dylan: The Classic Interviews 1965 - 1966" is released in association with ISIS Magazine by Chrome Dreams the premier name in music-related Interview CDs, Cassettes, Audio-Books and DVDs. This beautifully packaged CD (total playing time: 78 mins approx) is accompanied by a 16 page booklet containing numerous photographs plus liner notes written by Derek Barker.
