This next volume in the award-winning Bootleg Series tells the story of Dylans emergence and maturation as a songwriter and performer, from Minnesota to the Greenwich Village bohemia in the early 1960s. It includes rare Columbia Records outtakes, recordings made at club dates, in tiny informal gatherings, in friends apartments, and at jam sessions in long-gone musicians hangouts. The 8CD Deluxe set features 139 tracks 48 never-before released performances, as well as 38 super-rare cuts plus a hardcover book with extensive liner notes by Sean Wilentz and over 100 rare photographs. The last two discs of the set consist of the unreleased complete recording of Dylans 1963 landmark show at Carnegie Hall, mixed from original tapes
