Bob Dylan is gearing up to release a new seven-inch single featuring an unreleased version of ‘Blind Willie McTell’.The new vinyl will arrive on August 20 via Jack White‘s Third Man Records.Dylan’s original track initially emerged from the sessions for his 1983 album ‘Infidels’, but didn’t make the final album cut and a first version didn’t arrive until 1991, when it featured on ‘The Bootleg Series Volumes 1 – 3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961–1991’.While the original track featured a stripped-back acoustic piano-guitar rendition led by Dylan and Mark Knopfler, the new seven-inch features two full-band takes featuring Dylan, Knopfler, Mick Taylor, Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare.Only the A-side of the single (‘take 1’) will only be available on.
