Fans invited to influence track selection for new Dylan compilation

Thanks to Lawrence Kirsch for forwarding this Sony press release:

“A career-spanning, three-CD retrospective of Bob Dylan's music - "Dylan" - will be released worldwide on October 1 by Columbia Records. This definitive Bob Dylan collection chronicles the artist's four decades of groundbreaking studio recordings, as well as his unparalleled influence on popular music and culture.

“According to Sony BMG Commercial Music Group President John Ingrassia, "Each new generation eventually discovers what millions of people the world over have known for decades: That Bob Dylan is a singular artist whose songs and recordings represent the very best that music has to offer. This 'Dylan' set will provide a comprehensive introduction to an important body of work that continues to impact our culture and attract multitudes of new fans each year."

“Song selection for this comprehensive set is still being determined, and will be greatly influenced by impassioned fan lobbying on the website - www.dylan07.com

This site - which went live in February for fans to share thoughts on Bob Dylan's music, swap stories about first hearing the artist's songs and seeing him in concert, and more - has been updated today with the DYLAN artwork, a promotional trailer for the album, as well as the ability for fans to vote on the "Dylan" track listing.”
