This fall, Bob Dylan will release the latest edition of his bootleg series plus a massive collection of reissues of his earliest albums, Dylan fansite Isis reports. In October, the legend will return with the 47-track The Bootleg Series Vol. 9, which will feature studio recordings from 1962-1964 known to fans as the Witmark Demos and Leeds Demos, named after the New York studios where Dylan recorded. Dylan will also reissue his first eight albums (from his 1962 self-titled debut through 1967’s John Wesley Harding) in mono format, which have never been issued on CD before. The reissues — reportedly mastered using "first issue copies of the mono LPs" in order to recreate the sound of the original LPs — will come packaged in paper sleeves with liner written by Rolling Stone contributing editor Greil Marcus.
