A Simple Twist Of Fate - The Bob Dylan Thread

I pre-ordered the new Bootleg Series from Amazon, supposed to arrive today, and this morning I got this email:

We're having trouble delivering your package to the address provided. To ensure a successful delivery, please verify that the address is correct and add any relevant delivery instructions.
If your address is correct, we recommend waiting as we will try again. If it still hasn't arrived by the next business day, please contact us.

Has anyone received a message like this before? I get packages from Amazon almost daily, so the problem is not my address, although this package was "Shipped with Amazon" with a weird tracking number, so it appears they are not using the typical UPS for this package.

Mine was shipped Usps. Mail is held while on vacation, it’s supposed to arrive today, so I’ll have it in Monday. No weird messages on my end.

Weird that mine didn't ship UPS or USPS. This issue is also holding up my Delaney and Bonnie and Bar-Kays Stax 50s.
 
So the Ultradisc BOTT is exceptional, the best sounding press Ive ever heard, its like they’re playing there in front of you, I can hear the reverb off the acoustic guitar strings!

in other news bootleg vol. 15 is brilliant too, all the takes are of an exceptional quality, this is no demos/rough takes compilation!

inferesting! When my two loves collide! I’d hate to see what they’re asking for it with Dylan’s signature on it.
 
Reading this article from 2015, and I'd never seen this quote before:

"When he was young and in the midst of that golden-era frenzy, Dylan was apt to dodge earnest questions about what led him to the music he made in the mid-sixties. “Mistake or not, what made you decide to go the rock-and-roll route?” Nat Hentoff asked him in a Playboy interview published in February, 1966.
Dylan: Carelessness. I lost my one true love. I started drinking. I wind up in Phoenix. I get a job as a Chinaman. I start working in a dime store, and move in with a thirteen-year-old girl. Then this big Mexican lady from Philadelphia comes in and burns the house down. I go down to Dallas. I get a job as a ‘before’ in a Charles Atlas ‘before and after’ ad. I move in with a delivery boy who can cook fantastic chili and hot dogs. Then this thirteen-year-old girl from Phoenix comes and burns the house down. The next thing I know I’m in Omaha. It’s so cold there, by this time I’m robbing my own bicycles and frying my own fish. I move in with a high school teacher who also does a little plumbing on the side, who ain’t much to look at, but who’s built a special kind of refrigerator that can turn newspaper unto lettuce. Everything’s going good until that delivery boy shows up and tries to knife me. Needless to say, he burned the house down, and I hit the road. The first guy that picked me up asked me if I wanted to be a star. What could I say?

Hentoff: And that’s how you became a rock-and-roll singer?

Dylan: No, that’s how I got tuberculosis."

Needless to say, I'm laughing my ass off.
 
A quick note that there are 3 Dylan reissues for Disquaire Day (French RSD), the most interesting IMO being Freewheelin' in its original form, i.e. with the title translated and all liner notes in French, as it was the norm at that time.

The original doesn't seem hard to find on discogs, but a nice clean repress might be cool too...
