From the liner notes:
For most of those fabulous '60s, to be a bona-fide, hard-core, full paid-up Bob Dylan fan didn't demand much more than buying the records, enthusing about the songs and Dylan's singing to incredulous friends and puzzled parents, dreaming about one day seeing him in concert, and always waiting, with tetchy impatience, for news of what he was up to.

And now at last, something of the true extent and value of much of the buried treasure long sought after by tape collectors is brought to light. In this cornucopia of previously unissued material are stashed home recordings, demo recordings, outtakes, alternative takes, coffeehouse recordings, concert recordings, and more. Much of it teaches us a good deal about the way in which Dylan developed as a songwriter or performer in those early years; some of it is nothing short of sensational -- performances of staggering power and subtlety and seemingly infinite variety. The main focus in this collection is on Dylan as the songwriter: 38 songs that have never been released on an official album, as well as demo and rehearsal versions of well-known songs. Subsequent volumes will deal with live work, including the legendary 1966 Royal Albert hall appearance. For those who never suspected this material even existed, there are untold delights in store. And for those exhaustive and insatiable collectors, the "completists" who like to think that they've heard everything, included here are a bunch of previously unsuspected tracks.

Whatever reputation Bob Dylan has enjoyed as a writer and performer in his 30-year recording career will inevitably have to be reviewed in the light of this historic collection. And if the writers and critics who are called upon to reassess Bob Dylan's achievements find that the superlatives have all been used up on his back catalog of official releases, they'll just have to come up with a bunch of superlative outtakes, won't they?
