Fragments - Time Out Of Mind Sessions (1996-1997) / Bob Dylan 5CD box set

SDE Reader Rating

4.3

The next in Bob Dylan’s Bootleg Series – Vol. 17 – will be called Fragments – Time Out Of Mind Sessions (1996-1997) and will be available in four physical formats which offer a new stereo remix of the album, outtakes & alternative versions and more.

Time Out Of Mind was released 25 years ago and quickly became recognised as a Dylan classic with songs like ‘Love Sick’, ‘Can’t Wait’ and ‘Not Dark Yet’ and ‘Make You Feel My Love’ with the latter having been covered by many artists, including Billy Joel, Neil Diamond and Adele. The record won ‘Album of the Year’ and two other Grammys at the 1998 Award Ceremony.

The bonus material on Fragments: Time Out Of Mind Sessions traces the album’s creation and includes previously unreleased song versions from the 1996 Teatro Studio demo sessions – which featured Dylan (vocals, guitar, piano), Daniel Lanois (guitar, organ), Tony Garnier (bass) and Tony Mangurian (drums, percussion) – as well as unreleased live recordings from 1998-2001.

The reissue will be available as a 5CD super deluxe, a 2CD deluxe, a 4LP vinyl set and a mammoth 10LP vinyl offering (Bob Dylan store-only, £200 and limited to 5,000 units). The 2CD and the 4LP share the same track listing, which is the newly remixed album and 12 outakes/alternates. The 5CD edition offers a further CD of outtakes/alternates, a CD of live tracks (all bar one are previously unreleased) and a final bonus disc of of studio and live recordings which already made an appearance on The Bootleg Series Vol. 8: Tell Tale Signs but are repeated here. The 10LP version repeats the track listing of the 5CD set.

The Time Out Of Mind remix is by Michael H. Brauer and offers fresh look at the studio album. It removes some of the Daniel Lanois effects and focuses on the intimate atmosphere in which the songs were recorded. The goal according to Steven Hyden (who pens the notes in this reissue) was to establish “a greater closeness between listener and musician” and this remix isn’t intended to replace the original, but just offer an alternative.

Fragments – Time Out Of Mind Sessions (1996-1997) will be released on 27 January 2023, via Sony’s Legacy Recordings.
