The Other Side Of The Mirror – the new DVD of Dylan at the Newport Folk Festival 1963-65

The Other Side Of The Mirror, the 80 minute DVD of Dylan at the Newport Folk Festivals of 1963-1965, is the most compelling of the slew of new Zim product about to hit the streets. It’s set for release on 30 October.

Fellow Anglo cheapskates will be cheered to learn that they can at least postpone purchase of the DVD, pending the broadcast of the film on BBC Four, the Freeview digital terrestrial TV channel. If the BBC transmission follows the usual pattern, though, they’ll screen a slightly shorter version of the film, thus promoting the new DVD.
