^^ found the vinyl to that at the charity shop a couple of weeks ago, and in pretty good nick.

I wasn't going to buy the album as I didn't like Bob Dylan at all, but thought 'its only a few quid, so get it just to add it to the collection' but since playing it numerous times and also listening to him more online, I have really started enjoying his music. I prefer his earlier acoustic music more than his electric music but dont mind listening to either.

Dylan releases Sinatra cover, plans new album.

You can hear the Cover of Full Moon & Empty Arms (Frank Sinatra 1945)
HERE

Without any warning or anticipation, Bob Dylan posted a cover of Frank Sinatra's 1945 hit "Full Moon and Empty Arms" on his website, the first song from an upcoming new album by the 72-year-old musician.

​"This track is definitely from a forthcoming album due later on this year," a spokesperson for the singer tells Rolling Stone. While the rep wouldn't confirm an album title, Dylan posted an image of himself with the phrase "Shadows in the Night." With its distinct vertical bars and crisp, minimalist text, the image appears to be in the style of graphic designer Reid Miles' iconongraphic covers for Jazz label Blue Note.

Dylan doesn't stray too far from Sinatra's original track, though his version replaces the string section with guitars. "Full Moon and Empty Arms" was written by Ted Mossmann and Buddy Kaye and based around Sergei Rachmaninoff's 1901 composition "Piano Concert No. 2 in C Minor." The song has been covered by everyone from Robert Goulet to The Platters, but Sinatra's rendition remains the most famous. Dylan's last few albums were strongly inspired by popular music from this era.
