A fantastic set that all Dylan fans have been longing for. Mine was delivered a day before it's release date which was a nice surprise. For me this and love and theft are the pinnacle of Bobs career.
Just buy it if you can. -
No one seems to have commented on the changes of lyrics on Not Dark Yet and Can't Wait. The changes are so profound that I thought I must have not been able to hear them on the original album! The original lyrics are incredible on NDY and CW versions 1. Dylan's delivery is powerful and punchy, and both songs actually contain a narrative which gives them much greater meaning and sense.While the songs compositions juxtapose a jaunty vibe, with death knell lyrics, that clobber the listener and far more deeply translate the desolation and despair Dylan was evidently stuck in. Finally, NDY was clearly a conversation/prayer Dylan was having, but "Lord" has been dropped from the beginning of "It's not dark yet" in the final versions.
The final versions are poorer for most of not all the changes. Which are ambiguous, flat, disted, thin, overly manicured and lacking context in comparison.
"I've gone too far down life's beaten track, and I'm praying for the Master to bring me back" is DROPPED. And yet the scorching sincerity with which Dylan sings it tells you EVERYTHING you need to know.
And so many others.
These songs were belted. They ended up being dribbled. They ended up sounding wonderful. But transmitting little beyond that.
The final mixes are a bit bath in shallow water. The original versions are a deep dive to the bottom of an icy lagoon.
They are a cautionary tale to every lover. And as Dylan says "Anything now can happen to anyone." Because he has seen and known the true end of all attachment -Pain.
The final versions are a Hollywood story, in comparison to the impossibility of shielding himself from real life that Dylan is actually experiencing. And only truly communicated in his earlier versions.
Listening to them, I finally heard the album for the first time.
Truly unmissable. The original versions of what is now, for me, since listening to them, Dylan's best album.
And therefore one of the best albums ever written. If not 'the best' -

Essential - one of the few artists where outtakes are are as valued and enjoyable as the published takes. I love to put it on for the unfamiliar and see if the even realize they just listened to three takes on the same lyrics. -
Edited 2 years agoThe "missing" line of text at the bottom of page 24 is there, but it's white and difficult to make out. It reads: defiled in this world that your own father and mother will abandon you." Then he careened recklessly into a one-of-a-kind

Did anyone find the shipping price a bit expensive? I am in Argentina and the price is 200 dollars. -
The book has some printing errors, but the set as a whole is packaged really well - I got a partial refund on mine, mainly due to a sligh warp on 1 disc, not affecting play. I believe this is relatively common. Say no to sharks. -

I have this box set and also the 4 LP version and notice that the booklets in each set are unique. This makes sense since the 10 LP set has more material to list in the book. I had mistakenly thought that the books were the same
