They're just lacquers. The only difference that I can sus out is that the lacquer is applied to an aluminum disc vs lacquer all the way through. In other words, it's more of a hybrid than something new.

....personally, I've tired of holding my breath over new audio SOTA.

When it rears its' appearance at somewhere I can go hear it without a major trek to do so....*shrug*

If it wasn't at AXPONA....seems 'hipster hype' is a good guess... ;)

Assuming this isn't just false news, the most interesting aspect is that Dylan recently recorded new versions of at least an LPs? worth of old repertoire.

Why would he want to do this for a small private company, even if it is run by an old mate?  Having sold his composing rights, interestingly T-Bone will be paying royalties to money-men.

If the news is real, I guess we shouldn't be looking forward to great vocal reinterpretations at this stage.

Anyhow, BD will be 81 next month, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB!
