A CD containing 10 live, early Bob Dylan recordings will be available exclusively at Starbucks stores in the U.S. and Canada on Aug. 30.

The album, "Live at the Gaslight 1962," was taped at the Gaslight Cafe in New York's Greenwich Village, and includes the earliest known recordings of "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" and "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right."

Bootleg recordings of the Gaslight performances have circulated for years, but the upcoming album marks the first official release of the material.
