Product Description
From Amazon.com
Bob Dylan has always been incredibly prolific, only releasing a fraction of what he records. Such a policy has made him a prime target for bootleggers over the years, finally prompting this sanctioned 1991 triple-disc dive into the Dylan vaults. It consists of rare tracks, unreleased outtakes, early versions of classics ("Times They Are a-Changin'," "Like a Rolling Stone," "I Shall Be Released"), and alternate versions that sometimes cut the originals ("Idiot Wind"). A measure of Dylan's depth is his list of discarded songs ("She's Your Lover Now," "Blind Willie McTell," "Series of Dreams") that would be the crown jewels of most catalogs. These 58 tracks serve as a shadow history of one of our most important artists. --Ben Edmonds

Better than most of the songs on his albums!,
By
This review is from: The Bootleg Series - Vol. 1-3: 1961-1991 (3CD) (Audio CD)
This collection of unrelesed and alternate versions of songs is an awesome collection. It does beg the question, why weren't these songs included on some of the albums they were intended for? Not being a Dylan fan at all when I got this collection I was blown away. I think the second disc contains the best songs. I know everyone has their own favorites for various reasons but the songs that stood out for me are "Walking Down The Line", "Let Me Die In My Footsteps" (on disc 1), "Seven Curses", "Mama, You Been on My Mind", "Subterranean Homesick Blues" (1st take of the song with just bob, his guitar, and harmonica!), "If Not For You" (with George Harrison), and "Nobody 'Cept You" (all on disc 2). I'm sure I could have added almost the whole second disc but these are the songs I fell in love with at first listen. I'm not the biggest fan of Dylan but I feel these songs are amazing. I purchased all of the remastered cds and I'm shocked everytime I hear those albums. Some of those songs should have been replaced by some of the songs on this collection. I especially love the version of "If not for You" with the late George Harrison. It sounds closer to the version Harrison recorded for his album "All Things Must Pass" compared to the version Dylan released on his "New Morning" album. So if anyone is interested in listening to Dylan for the first time, I would highly recomend this collection.

Pure Gold,
By Jorge Barbarosa "the_bassist" (the back 9) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bootleg Series - Vol. 1-3: 1961-1991 (3CD) (Audio CD)
It's amazing that after all these years; the surviving acetates were put into digital format. Absolutely amazing. Some reviewers ask, "Why wasn't this material put on the albums?" To answer that I would have to say that back in the day we really didn't have the money to just throw around. Albums were put out based on the commercial potential. There were a few small independent labels out there, but they were almost hobbies when compared to the corporations. Today, a lot of material in a variety of genre' are precious commodities because they were pressed on independent labels, without any existing archival material. So thanks to the folks at (whatever label Dylan recorded with), we're able to enjoy these early recordings. These are golden, simplicity, raw, genius. Golden.

Terrific,

This review is from: The Bootleg Series - Vol. 1-3: 1961-1991 (3CD) (Audio CD)
Wow, this is really cool stuff. This stuff is as good as the material that made it on his "official" albums. I like that it is in chronological order so you can really see him develop as a songwriter. (That's the BIG problem with Biograph, too disjointed in its song sequencing.) This is much better than Biograph. Buy it!!
