It is absolutely humbling, given the quality of the material on this 58-song set, to think that these are the Dylan compositions that DIDN'T make the cut for his albums! Includes long-rumoured songs (�She's Your Lover Now�; �Blind Willie McTell�), alternate versions (of the songs on Blood on the Tracks, for instance), live cuts and more unreleased treasures. A must. 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 catalogues. These 58 tracks serve as a shadow history of one of our most important artists.
