The Basement Tapes Complete ?

[soulpope]

Any experience reg sound btw other impressions of "The Basement Tapes Complete" (either the BOx or the 2CD-Set) would come highly appreciated.

We've been discussing this a bit in the Bob Dylan Corner thread.

I received the two cd set Tuesday and listened to it before giving it to my brother for a birthday present. Then yesterday I received the six cd set and have begun listening to that. Pretty much the same notes are in both. They could have given us more liner notes imo. But no quibble at all with the sound, these tracks have NEVER sounded like this before. And the two cd set is a great distillation of the complete set, and will probably be all that anyone would need unless they are a huge Dylan and the Band nut like me.

I have the 2CD set ordered. 6 CD set way too expensive for my budget, $120 vs. $20 for the 2CD set.

I lucked out and got the Complete set from amazon.ca for 91 dollars including shipping. Was only at that price briefly and I slipped in and got a deal.I'd have still gone for it because these tapes have fascinated me for decades and I guessed rightly that the sound quality here blows all the bootlegs out of the water.

Thanks for the initial feedback
