For those who may not know, Dream Theater announced a little while back that they would be re-releasing its Ytsejam Records "official bootleg" collection, as well as releasing new material, through their newly-launched "Lost Not Forgotten" archives. The discussion over what has been released, what is going to be released, and where to buy it has been a bit confusing, so I am starting a new thread to
hopefully keep it simple and help people find what they are looking for. I will do my best to keep this updated.
This first post will continue to be modified to list all available and upcoming releases as soon as information is released.
From the band:
Ytsejam Records previously played host to Dream Theater’s official bootleg release collection comprising of live shows, demos & studio outtakes from throughout the band’s prolific career. As part of the ‘Lost Not Forgotten Archives’, the entirety of the collection will be reissued on CD, as well as for the very first time on vinyl and digital, with brand new artwork and packaging. The band have also been busy digging into their encyclopedic vault to find some very special, previously unreleased material. The first brand new release in the reinvigorated archival series will be a recording of the band’s start-to-finish performance of their classic second ever studio album, ‘Images & Words’, taken from their performance at Tokyo, Japan’s legendary Budokan venue in September of 2017.
Following this inaugural ‘Lost Not Forgotten Archives’ release, the extensive back catalogue of Ytsejam Records offerings will start to be reissued throughout the next several years. Plenty more previously unreleased material will get its initial publication, presenting an absolute treasure trove of Dream Theater music for fans both old and new to explore.
