Bob Dylan: Carnegie Chapter Hall 1961 On CD

 

Released in the UK on CD by BDA Records in February 2012 (but available NOW from ISIS), “Bob Dylan: Carnegie Chapter Hall 1961” is a record of Dylan’s first proper New York concert. The concert, which took place on the evening of November 4, 1961, was staged at the Chapter Hall, a small rehearsal space in the celebrated Carnegie Hall on Seventh Avenue.

 

Just nine days after signing with Columbia Records, Dylan performed 22 songs at the Chapter Hall concert. The first seven songs from this performance came into circulation among collectors some years ago. Five additional songs appeared in December 2004 and a further two (‘Talking Merchant Marine’ and ‘Talking New York’) turned up in May, 2008. All of the available material has been pulled together for this release. However, one of the available tracks, Woody Guthrie’s ‘This Land is Your Land’ is not included. I can only imagine this is because that track has already been officially released on “No Direction Home: The Bootleg Series Vol. 7”.

 

This CD will be available from ISIS Magazine from January 1, 2012.  Full details HERE

 

 

 

Dylan on Vinyl

As previewed in a previous issue of ISIS Magazine, the LeftField Media albums “Folksingers Choice” and “Studs Terkel’s Wax Museum” are to be released on vinyl. Licensed by LeftField Media, these two LPs are released in the UK on the “Let Them Eat Vinyl” label. Both will be packaged in gate-fold sleeves and will feature the liner notes that were included with the CD release.

 

Although these albums are not limited editions as such, they will be limited by the fact that there will probably only be one pressing of these titles and as such they are likely to quickly become collectors items.         

 

Both these titles will be available from ISIS Magazine in January, 2012  Full details HERE
