Bob Dylan's contributions to Warhol homage revealed

Yesterday, we reported on 15 Minutes: Homage To Andy Warhol, which will include artwork and audio accompaniment by Bob Dylan, Patti Smith and others. A source at Sony told me that the sets (listing at $20,000 and $600)  will not be sold at retail, just through D2C (Sony's official store).

Bob Dylan's contribution is reported to be his 1971 recording, "When I Paint My Masterpiece." Dylan's silkscreen is entitled "Self Portrait", probably the cover painting of his 1970 double album.

Dylan's version of "When I Paint My Masterpiece" was originally released on Greatest Hits Vol. II, coming out of the live performance of "Tomorrow Is A Long Time." Hopefully this release will have a "clean" start, without the applause from 1963.
