I am not very confident in MovieMarsCD’s, this is a brand new record terribly scratched upon opening. The other is the dust sleeve of a brand new record with all threes side torn on both records. It’s a two record album.

    Sounds better than the originally released vinyl. Always a favorite. Dylan's work with The Band remains one of his best musical eras. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2014
    In light of the fact that The Basement Tapes Complete is due out soon, we might ask what the point of this release will be in the future.

    As noted at length in some of the better reviews on this page and in various other sources, this album was an attempt to clean up and present material from already widely-bootlegged sessions in a "professional" manner. To that end, some tracks were "sweetened" and others were re-recorded. A few of the Band's tracks seem, in retrospect, to have no connection with the Basement Tapes at all ("Bessie Smith" for example) whereas others ("Ain't No More Cane" and "Don't Ya Tell Henry") are re-recordings of tracks that were at least played at the time.

    The material from these sessions is essential for Dylan fans - some of his best songwriting and singing. Unfortunately, this original presentation of the material to the public unaccountably leaves out some of the better songs ("I Shall Be Released") along with some of the more compelling (if idiosyncratic) performances ("I'm Not There (1956)") making the newer Bootleg Series sets preferable in terms of the Dylan content.

    By and large, the "sweetening" on this original release is, at this point, little more than a curiosity. I don't think the overdubs actually enhance the music significantly and they're overdubbed on less-than-optimal transfers of the original sources. Though perhaps some might prefer them.

    On the other hand, the re-recordings and the Band-only tracks are really quite good for the most part. "Cane", "Henry", "Katie", "Reuben" and "Bessie" are all great - and until/unless they all end up on a Band album somewhere (I believe there are versions of one or two included as extras on the Ban's first two albums, but not all of the tracks), this is where you'll find them.

    My view is that this album still makes a valuable supplement to the Complete Basement Tapes (or the smaller 2-disc set The Basement Tapes Raw) and to the first Band albums, but that the release of the newer sets downgrades this from "essential" to "nice to have" - but one should consider The Basement Tapes Raw to be essential for all serious Dylan fans.

    The stuff you NEVER KNEW he did. Don't miss out if you're a Dylan fan. I'm a huge Dylan fan. Like all musicians and personal tastes that vary, you may not like his music. Reviewing music is not my thing. I collect Dylan and the price of this CD is worth owning it if you're a Dylan collector. Reviewing music is very subjective. I recommend this CD for the collector and part of the brag to say, you have every Dylan album every sold the the public.

    This represents Dylan at a period of transition away from the Rock and Roll sound of Blonde on Blonde and Highway 61 to the Americana-roots sound of John Wesley Harding and Nashville Skyline. It's also the beginning of The Band as a separate entity rather than Dylan's band. (Many of The Band tracks are actually from later, not at the actual Dylan and the Band sessions.) It's fascinating to see Dylan at the crossroads artistically as well as personally (This was recorded as he was convalescing from the motorcycle accident.)

    Even with remastering the album still sounds a little bootleggish. It's not a major issue, though.

    I have listened to the original vinyl over the past 30 years and it was always a favorite in my collection and when it became available on cd I jumped on the opportunity to purchase it.. I was very pleased with the 2 cd set and the sound of this monumental recording is awesome.. If you are thinking of owning this by all means don't hesitate get it you won't be disappointed ..

    Reviewed in Italy on June 22, 2022
    Un grandissimo Bob Dylan e i The Band non sono da meno. Un album registrato nei bassifondi della Big Pink, casa che darà il nome al primo album dei The Band, un altro enorme capolavoro. L' Americana è il rock elettrico sono al massimo splendore in questi brani, peccato che all' epoca in pochi li avessero capiti. Tutte le tracce hanno una qualità audio eccellente sia quelle interne sia quelle esterne, veramente 2 buon vinili da 180 grammi. Acquisto consigliatissimo!
