In Part Two we introduced the idea of Bootleg Series 17 as a reinvention and expansion of Time Out Of Mind that looks at Dylan’s related work beyond just that on the original album. Today we offer an expanded overview of our suggested six-part breakdown of all the now officially released material.

In 1997, Time Out Of Mind gave us eleven songs. In 2008, four outtakes, and two official live releases appeared on Tell Tale Signs (TTS). Another half-dozen or so live releases were scattered across b-sides and promo-CDs over the years.
FRAGMENTS adds new mixes of the 11 original songs, 25 new outtakes, and 12 new live versions. Since it also includes the 12 TTS tracks, there are a total of 60 tracks on the 5 CD or 10 LP set packages. Add to those 11 originals, and a couple of the other b-side live tracks, and we’re looking at a 75 song long Time Out Of Mind Sessions playlist running about 8 hours.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t want an 8 hour…
