In Uncut Take 138 [dated November 2008], we celebrated the release of The Bootleg Series Vol. 8: Tell Tale Signs, Bob Dylan’s astonishing collection of unreleased material from 1989 – 2006.

For this epic cover story, we spoke to the musicians, producers and crew who worked with Dylan during this period.

At the time, we ran the full, unedited transcripts of those interviews on Uncut.co.uk. Since then, though, they’ve fallen down the back of the internet, become hard to find or some of the links have since broken.

So we’ve decided to round them all up into one place.

Here, then, are the working links to all 13 transcripts in our Tell Tale Signs interviews – plus founding editor Allan Jones’ original review of the collection itself.
