  • Bob Dylan revealed plans to release a new archival collection on October 31 through Columbia/Legacy Recordings, featuring recordings from the early phase of his career spanning 1956 to 1963.
  • The release chronicles Dylan’s early work from age 15 in Minnesota through his 1963 Carnegie Hall concert amid a global resurgence in his music’s appreciation.
  • The extensive 8CD/2CD/4LP set includes 139 tracks with 48 unreleased and 38 super-rare recordings, plus a 125-page essay by historian Sean Wilentz and a hardback book.
  • Dylan previewed the project by releasing the 1962 outtake 'Rocks and Gravel' from the Freewheelin' sessions, and Wilentz described the set as "just a fragment" of that era.
