Product Description
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

    Summary: Coulda Been Better
    Comment: 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.

    Summary: Bob Dylan Bootleg Series Vol 1-3 1961-1991
    Comment: a 3cd pack with booklet. The cds are great and the bookelet has notes on each of the songs and some photos that I haven't seen before. Really worthwhile

    Summary: Simply, Wonderfully, Dylan
    Comment: 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 THE voice. Simply Golden, must buy.

    Summary: BD bootleg series 1-3
    Comment: 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.

    Summary: Some Surprisers for Even the Bootleggers
    Comment: 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 shockers to both Dylan fans and Dylan bootleggers alike, especially the hauntingly beautiful "Farewell Angelina" that Dylan gave to Joan Baez to record. Hearing Dylan do it himself is a pure pleasure. And the two closing songs, "When the Night Comes Falling from the Sky" and "Series of Dreams" are just outstanding. What a rock song, "When the Night Comes Falling from the Sky" is. Wow!

    I particularly like the Infidels outtakes on disc three, from "Tell Me" through "Blind Willie McTell." But wait! There's more," the Alternate take of "Subterranean Homesick Blues," is just as good as the original and will have you singing the words right along with Dylan, if you still know 'em, that is. "Nobody 'Cept You," left off of Planet Waves is a heart rendering love song, "She's Your Lover Now," left off of "Blonde on Blonde, because they never got the last verse right, is a song I play all the time. Actually I play this whole set all the time. It's just great.
