Dylan Mono Reissues, and Leeds/Witmark tapes Oct 2010

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

got mono Blonde and Highway on new vinyl (Sundazed),
will eventually pick up Bringing,
have found these to be worthwhile
and would be interested in hearing Harding

(tho probly don't need it on CD)

his early acoustic isn't my favorite, but I imagine friends or relatives will get hold and I'll hear it that way

The source says this:

"...all are being freshly mastered for this release, using first issue copies of the mono LPs for reference, in order to ensure that they get the sound to match that on the albums when they were first released."

Rolling Stone must think Sony is trying to save money by using needledrops for their reissues.
