Starbucks to release CD of Dylan bootlegs

The Starbuck's Coffee Company's CD business is getting interesting. The company is going to produce and exclusively release Bob Dylan: Live At The Gaslight 1962, a CD containing 10 much-bootlegged songs performed by a 21-year-old Dylan at New York's Gaslight Cafe. That Greenwich Village spot was key to the early-'60's folk revival. Here is the AP story:

Starbucks will also sell the two-CD soundtrack to No Direction Home, the upcoming Martin Scorsese PBS documentary about Dylan, although that will not be a Starbucks exclusive. Both items will be available at Starbucks on August 30th.
