Starbucks Hear Music And SONY BMG Custom Marketing Group To Release Rare Bob Dylan Album Exclusively At Starbucks On August 30
Starbucks Hear Music and SONY BMG Custom Marketing Group today announced plans to release and distribute Bob Dylan: Live at the Gaslight 1962, an album consisting of newly restored, live recordings culled from the best of Dylan's legendary 1962 performances at New York's Gaslight Cafe. Long sought after by fans, this album represents the first time these historic recordings have been professionally produced and officially released. Beginning on August 30, 2005, the album will be available exclusively at Starbucks Company-operated stores in the U.S. and Canada. These archival recordings capture a young Bob Dylan at a pivotal moment in his career when he began to find his voice as an innovative artist and songwriter. The 10-song CD, culled from the best of Dylan's renowned 1962 sets at the Gaslight Cafe, includes the earliest surviving live recordings of "A Hard Rains A-Gonna Fall" and "Don't Think Twice It's Alright," both of which Dylan later released to great acclaim. Additional tracks include a third Dylan original, "John Brown," as well as covers of traditional folk songs such as "The Cuckoo" and "Barbara Allen." For the past four decades, a limited number of poor quality "bootleg" versions of Dylan's performances at the Gaslight Cafe have circulated among collectors and fans. To produce this landmark album, SONY BMG mastering and audio production engineers completely remastered the best available recordings to create an album which offers a pristine version of these historical recordings -- the only version ever released with proper pitch and speed. "Bob Dylan is a legend and one of the most socially conscious artists of his generation. His artistry helped redefine popular music," said Ken Lombard, president of Starbucks Entertainment. "Fans have been seeking access to these early recordings for more than four decades. This album offers a unique perspective on Dylan when he was an emerging artist and also capture an important moment in the history of America's coffeehouse culture. We are honored to collaborate with SONY BMG to offer our customers the first professionally mastered, officially sanctioned edition of these historic, long-awaited Bob Dylan recordings." The exclusive release of Bob Dylan: Live at the Gaslight 1962 coincides with the release of No Direction Home: Bob Dylan, a Martin Scorsese picture. The first feature-length film biography of Bob Dylan, the film is scheduled to make its U.S. broadcast premiere on American Masters, Thirteen/WNET New York's award-winning series, in September on PBS (check local listings). Beginning on August 30, the film biography's two-CD soundtrack, entitled Bob Dylan No Direction Home: The Soundtrack - Bootleg Series Volume 7, will also be available at Starbucks Company-operated stores in the U.S. and Canada as well as at traditional retail. Bob Dylan: Live at the Gaslight 1962 and Bob Dylan No Direction Home: The Soundtrack - Bootleg Series Volume 7 are also available for purchase online at www.starbucks.com/hearmusic beginning August 30.
