The Bootleg Series, Vols. 1-3 : Rare And Unreleased, 1961-1991
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 more

Coulda Been Better
purchased this CD based on the strength of his latest Bootleg Series #7&8 thinking it would be as good and was very disappointed. The fore mentioned was the best music I've purchased in years. This CD had much potential but just got aggravating after a while. Don't buy it, get 7&8 instead.

Simply, Wonderfully, Dylan
Many people are nitpicking about sound / rehearsal quality. This is a BOOTLEG compilation, and it's absolutely marvelous. My father played these cassette tapes throughout my childhood, and it feels great to hear them all again. THE best songwriting, presented in the simplest (perfect) manner, by...

BD bootleg series 1-3
This is an absolutely incredible collection that anyone who even remotely likes Bob Dylan should own. I purchased it brand new and it came in wrapping, but it consistently skips on one song at the same place. I noticed slight gouges in the CD.

Some Surprisers for Even the Bootleggers
This is the first of the Bob Dylan official Bootleg Series offered by CBS/Sony and it offers up a delicious set of recordings that any Dylan fan just has to love. Most of these songs have appeared on Bootlegs over the years, but not all of them. There are some gems here that must have been...

WOW Factor
I would let all of the 5 star reviews on here speak for themselves but I feel compelled to interject with my twocents. I bought this compilation way back when it was released (1991-ish?) and I was quite frankly blown away. That the music is unique in both content and substance goes without...

A MUST for true Dylan fans!
I haven't been able to stop listening to this CD since I bought it. Many of the songs were new to me, although I've been a big fan of Bob's for many years now. You won't be disappointed with this purchase.
