Bob Dylan’s forthcoming Bootleg Series Vol. 9: The Whitmark Demos
“It had been forgotten, until it was found last year in the clearing of the house after my mother died,” says Ralph’s son Toby Gleason. “It’s a seven inch reel-to-reel that sounds like it was taped from the mixing disc. A collector/dealer associate of the family said ‘This might be worth something to the Dylan office’ and we sold it to them last year.”
Dylan has been releasing Bootleg Series concerts for twelve years, but this is the first time a previously uncirculated show has hit the market.
The disc won’t be sold in stores, but will be delivered to everyone who buys the eight-disc Mono Recordings box set
A CD/DVD set of Dylan’s famous 1993 stand at New York’s Supper Club was nearly released instead of the Whitmark Demos. “I decided I liked the story of the Whitmark Demos better than the Supper Club,” says the source. “That will definitely come out on CD and DVD sometime soon, though.”
Meanwhile, many other Dylan projects are percolating. including a series of Bootleg Series DVDs. A box set of the complete Blonde on Blonde sessions is also being considered.
