Brandeis

Bonus plata "Brandeis" som gis ut i forbindelse med de to Dylan-boksene som kommer i Oktober blir ikke lagt ut for ordinært salg. SONY music Norge gjør et samarbeid med Platekompaniet der de første som kjøper Bootleg Series 9 (Witmark Demos) og/eller Mono-boksen med de 8 første LPene til Dylan, får med Brandeis CDen som bonus. Det blir "førstemann til mølla-prinsippet" da det ikke er et ubegrenset antall eksemplarer av bonus CDen. SONY music vet foreløpig ikke hvor mange ex de får av Brandeis-CDen.

Pressemelding fra Dylanfestivalen

Bob Dylan har skrive songar i 50 år. Artistar verda over har tolka songane hans.

– Ein litterær Nobelpris til Bob Dylan vil vere ei hylling så vel til han som til sjølve songen som sjanger, sa Håvard Rem på Utdanningsforbundet sitt Dylan-fagseminar på Beitostølen. Rem har skrive bok om Dylan og dessutan omsett fleire av Dylans tekster til norsk.

- Det er fint at Dylans songar har funne vegen inn i skolebøkene og songbøkene, seier Rem.

Dylan-tolkaren og -gjendiktaren Jan Erik Vold var også til stades, og han såg gjerne at Dylan blir heidra:

- Skal songen hevast opp til Nobelpris-nivå, er Bob Dylan den som peiker seg ut, seier Vold.
