First-Ever CD of Bob Dylan Rarities To Be Released This October

In a completely unpredictable turn of events, Bob Dylan has announced that he will release a two-disc collection of rarities, Tell Tale Signs, October 6. The collection will feature live tracks, demos, unreleased studio recordings, and rare songs from soundtracks. All of the material was recorded between 1989 and 2006.

The collection is actually the eighth installment of the "Bootleg Series," though releasing them legally would seem to remove their statuses as "bootlegs" (what say you to that Mr. Dylan?). The collection is also available as a three-disc box set, with the third disc containing ultra-rare tracks and two books of rare photos.

In order to promote the release of the collection, Dylan is offering a free download of the unreleased 1997 track "Dreamin' Of You" to those who sign up for his website. The MP3 is considered to be moderately rare. If you are among the first 5000 to pre-order Tell Tale Signs online, you receive a limited-edition Bob Dylan poster. And if your pre-order the box set, you also get an extremely rare 7-inch single, containing the tracks "Dreamin' of You" and "Ring Them Bells."

Jesus fucking Christ, this shit is rare.
