Dylan (1973 album)

Untitled

Dylan is a Bob Dylan album, released on Columbia Records in 1973 , which compiles outtakes drawn mostly from Dylan's New Morning sessions in the spring of 1970. It was issued shortly after Dylan's signing with Asylum Records and "comeback tour" with The Band had been announced, and was generally viewed as an attempt to capitalize on the anticipated demand for the as-yet-untitled Planet Waves. (A week after Columbia released the record, Dylan and The Band announced their upcoming tour in support of Planet Waves.)

Although Dylan received very poor reviews, it managed to hit #17 in the US and become a gold record. It is the only non-compilation Dylan album not released on CD in the North American market, but was released on CD under its original title for the Japanese market and as A Fool Such as I in the UK/European market. The cassette edition, however, is still offered in the North American market.Template:Inote
