Philip, has any thought been given to allowing Internet downloads of these
"rare" songs (assuming they aren't on the boxset)? I don't know if that means you can just bypass the record companies, have the money go right into your pockets. (Don't know
if DZM/this website could support a venture like this or it would make financial sense).
I for one, love to hear different lead singers of songs-you or Shane singing Young Ned, collaborations (Elvis Costello, Los Lobos), would gladly pay
a few dollars to be able to download these.
Your thoughts??
If it hasn't made it to the box set, there's a good chance we'd rather you didn't hear it. Even if that were not the case, it strikes me that there'd be a ton of legal stuff to wade through. I don't think we've even spoken to EC, for example, since he and the missus dropped in on the "Fall From Grace" sessions to say hello.
However, watch out for a fleeting glimpse of Elvis-impersonating-Dylan-singing Shane on the "Straight In The Eye" and, indeed, Shane singing Elvis.
