Some of Bob Dylan’s earliest musical recordings are set to be collected in a new box set, Through The Open Window: The Bootleg Series Vol. 18.
Capturing Dylan’s work between 1956 and 1963, the box set revisits his teenage years living in Minnesota, through to his early days in New York’s Greenwich Village. It will be released digitally and in 8xCD, 2xCD and 4xLP editions. The physical editions will come with a 125-page liner notes essay penned by historian Sean Wilentz.
The last two discs of Through The Open Window capture a famed concert that Dylan played at New York’s Carnegie Hall on October 26, 1963. The recordings of the performance are previously unreleased.
This is Dylan’s first entry in the Bootleg Series of releases in more than two years, following Fragments – Time Out Of Mind Sessions (1996-1997): The Bootleg Series, Vol. 17.
Below, you can listen to ‘Rocks And Gravel (Solid Road)’, a previously released track that was recorded in April 1962 during sessions for The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan.
Legacy will release Through The Open Window: The Bootleg Series Vol. 18 on October 31, 2025.
