The Bootleg Series Volume 9 – The Witmark Demos: 1962-1964 and The Original Mono Recordings are two sets that have been long sought-after by Bob Dylan collectors and fans worldwide. Finally, The Witmark Demos are seeing their commercial release nearly five decades after they were initially recorded, and re-release of the artist's first eight long-playing albums are returning to the marketplace for the first time ever as the The Original Mono Recordings collection on CD as well as on fully analogue 180-gram vinyl on October 19.

Together, both releases provide the public with a wide-ranging view of Bob Dylan's work during the 1960s, and chronicle his amazing evolution from fledgling songwriter to one of the world's most inventive and singular recording artists.

The Witmark Demos features 47 Bob Dylan songs recorded by the artist accompanied only by his acoustic guitar, harmonica and occasionally piano on 2 CD or 4 LP 180-gram vinyl. All of these songs were written – and their subsequent demos recorded – before Bob Dylan turned 24 years old.

Among the many gems are 15 Bob Dylan songs that were recorded by the artist only for these sessions, and which have never been officially released to the public until now. These include the plaintive "Ballad For A Friend," the civil rights era-inspired "Long Ago, Far Away" and "The Death Of Emmett Till," and the poignant "Guess I'm Doing Fine."

The Witmark Demos also features a deluxe booklet featuring in-depth liner notes by noted music historian Colin Escott, as well as rare photographs of Bob Dylan captured during the same period as these early recordings.

Special Pre-order Offer: The Witmark Demos comes with an exclusive Bob Dylan t-shirt only at the bobdylan.com online store!

Pre-sale of the 2 CD and 4 LP also available now at Amazon.

The Original Mono Recordings is comprised of Bob Dylan's first eight long-playing albums, painstakingly reproduced from their first generation monaural mixes as the artist intended them to be heard: one channel of powerful sound, both direct and immediate. While stereo recordings had been available as early as the mid-1950s, mono was still the predominant – and often preferred – mode of recording and mixing by the top artists of the 1960s.

The Original Mono Recordings 8 CD and 8 LP editions are accompanied by a deluxe booklet, featuring vintage photographs of Bob Dylan and an expansive essay from renowned author and Dylan aficionado, Greil Marcus. Each disc in the set comes in its own individual jacket which faithfully replicates the original album artwork, complete with labels and stickers that were found on the original 1960s releases.

These eight albums – spanning the artist's self-titled debut in March 1962, through John Wesley Harding released on December 27, 1967 – are universally regarded as some of the most important works in the history of recorded music.

Special Pre-order Offer: The Original Mono Recordings comes with an exclusive 18x24” Bob Dylan poster only at the bobdylan.com online store!

Pre-sale of the 8 CD and 8 LP also available now at Amazon.

Bob Dylan – 1962
