Bob Dylan Another Self Portrait: 1969-1971 (The Bootleg Series Vol. 10) - Deluxe 4CD Box Set

Release Date: 26th August 2013

Bob Dylan’s The Bootleg Series, Vol. 10 - Another Self Portrait (1969-1971) was released on August 27, 2013 bringing fresh perspective to one of the artist’s most controversial periods and revealing it to be one of his most wonderfully creative and prolific. Containing 35 rarities and previously unreleased recordings, Another Self Portrait (1969-1971) is the 10th edition of Dylan’s acclaimed Bootleg Series. 

The unreleased recordings, demos and alternate takes on Another Self Portrait – drawn mainly from the 1970 studio recording sessions that resulted in the official 1970 albums Self Portrait and New Morning albums – shed new light on an essential and pivotal period in the artist’s ongoing musical evolution. 

The original Self Portrait, released in June 1970, was Dylan’s tenth studio album and his first to receive real pans from the music press (“What is this shit?” was literally the opening sentence of Greil Marcus’s review in Rolling Stone while Robert Christgau gave the album a “C PLUS” rating in the Village Voice). Nevertheless, Self Portrait hit Number 4 on the US Billboard 200 and Number 1 on the UK album charts. 

The four-disc deluxe boxed set includes, for the first time ever, the complete historic performance by Bob Dylan and The Band from Isle of Wight Festival on August 31, 1969. Housed in a slipcase, the deluxe edition includes the newly remastered version of the 1970 Self Portrait album, in its entirety with original sequencing, in addition to two hardcover books featuring revisionist liner notes penned by Greil Marcus (author of the notorious “What is this shit?” 1970 Self Portrait review in Rolling Stone).
