If you take your Dylan collection seriously - do not pass this up - many of the demo's or "alternate takes" are better than the official release versions.

A Must Have for Dylan and American Music Fans

Outtakes from his latest trilogy (TOOM, "L&T" MT) and late 80's and early 90's. Mississippi is a masterpiece. Maybe the best Bootleg series release since Live: 1966.

Bootleg Irony

This is not a complete review of the album, but an observation. Some of the other reviews have noted the two versions of this album, the regular 2-CD version selling for about $15 and the deluxe version with a book of pictures of single jackets, a vinyl disk with two songs, and 3 CDs. The deluxe version is priced at $100+. Of the 3 CDs in the deluxe version, two of them are the same as the regular version. I grudgingly bought the deluxe version, but asked myself why would the deluxe version include more real music and not just additional padding. Also why is the price differential so crazy? The thought occurred to me that the inent (Dylan's?) was to insure that the 3rd CD in the deluxe version would actually be bootlegged. That is, people would share it with one another rather than everyone buying it. The bootleg series began as a way of releasing some tracks through official channels that had been bootlegged earlier. So the title was somewhat ironic to start with. But the current release of outtakes, alternate versions, and live tracks must contain much that has not been bootlegged. I suggest that this configuration and pricing may be intended to turn it into real bootlegged material.
