Dylan signs new deal

BOB Dylan has signed an exclusive deal which will see 10 previously unreleased live tracks sold in coffee shops across North America.

Dylan: Live at the Gaslight 1962 features rare and much sought-after material recorded at the Gaslight Cafe in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village.

The performances were considered some of the finest of his early career and tracks include A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall and Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright.

Bootleg versions have been touted among Dylan fans for years but this is the first to be professionally produced and remastered.It coincides with the release of director Martin Scorsese’s feature-length film about the legendary singer, No Direction Home.
