Dylan Album Out Early—if You've Got a Citi Card

Loyal Citibank customers get a 1-week jump on the rest of us

Share

(Newser) – Citibank rewards customers will have first dibs on Bob Dylan’s first-ever Christmas album. The lucky cardholders will be able to download Christmas in the Heart online during the week before Oct. 13, when it goes on sale to the general public. An exec tells Reuters the offer will have “high appeal” to Citi’s customers. All profits from the album will go to Dylan’s favorite charities.

It's more than likely the label's doing. I don't understand why he doesn't go independent.

You loose yourself, you reappear You suddenly find you got nothing to fear "Alone you stand without nobody near When a trembling distant voice, unclear Startles your sleeping ears to hear That somebody thinks They really found you." dylan
