You know people love your music when they’re willing to back a four-disc deluxe package around your least popular album. On August 27, Columbia Records will release The Bootleg Series, Volume 10 Another Self Portrait (1969-1971), which features 35 demos, unreleased recordings, and alternate takes recorded during the era of Dylan’s polarizing tenth studio album, 1970’s Self Portrait.
The set is available in both a standard two-disc version and a mammoth deluxe four-disc version. The latter includes Dylan and The Band’s legendary performance from August 31, 1969 at the Isle of Wight Festival; it also features a newly remastered version of Self Portrait, along with “two hardcover books featuring revisionist liner notes penned by Greil Marcus,” who penned the infamous Rolling Stone review of Self Portrait (the one that opens with “What is this shit?”).
There’s also a vinyl version, which includes all 35 tracks on three LPs.
Check out a trailer for the release below:
