Book-ended with an embryonic recording made by a high school friend and a live, boisterous take of "Like a Rolling Stone" less than seven years later, the fifth release in the Bob Dylan Bootleg series (and the soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's Dylan documentary of the same name) proffers just how far the folk idol turned rock star had come between his last year in a Minnesota high school and 1966's contentious UK tour. The double CD is sequenced chronologically and features 26 rare and unreleased recordings (most between 1961 and 1966), including 1959's muddied "When I Got Troubles,' reportedly the first song Dylan ever put to tape, and Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land," performed live soon after Dylan's arrival in New York. While the usual suspects are present--"Don't Think Twice It's Alright," "Masters of War," "Mr. Tambourine Man"--this collection unravels the unexpected, including an outtake from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan ("Sally Gal"), captivating alternate takes of "She Belongs To Me," "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry" and "Visions of Johanna" (with full band) and the ripping electric version of "Maggie's Farm" that throttled the 1965 Newport Folk Festival and carried Dylan over the genre-influencing threshold into generation-altering icon status. --Scott Holter Recommended Bob Dylan

 You Will Not Die, It's Not Poison November 26, 2008
COMPUTERJAZZMAN (Cliffside Park, New Jersey United States)
with the exception of the first couple of songs, Dylan's earliest recordings, which are not very good & was befroe he ever really found his voice, the rest of this double CD is fantastic. The recordings were made between 1961-1966, and feature alternate takes, demos, and live recordings. Since the album is in chronological order, the first CD features acoustic Bob Dylan, and shows why he was the pre-eminent poet and folksinger of his time. The second CD is from the time when he first went electric (with The Band backing him up), and really rocks. This is the Soundtrack of the excellent Bob Dylan film by Martin Scorcese. Any fan of bob Dylan (particularly his old stuff) will love this CD.
This is the album that got me into Dylan September 29, 2008

Before I heard this album, I viewed Dylan as over rated and I did not understand what all the fuss was about. The main song I had heard before this was rainy day women with it's horrable lyrics "everybody must get stoned".
But this album made me realize what a genius, word smith Dylan really was. Many of the songs on it are the best versions including: Don't Think Twice, Blowing in the Wind, Chimes of Freedom, Hard rain and so forth. This is a MUST have Dylan compilation and it stands as my favorite!

I would disagree with anyone who says this isn't just for serious Dylan fans. I am one, and there's still a lot here I wouldn't want to listen to very often....a lot of the songs are alternate takes where he seems to be working out the melody or instrumentation or lyrics for a particular song, & while they're interesting as insights into his creative process, it also becomes clear after listening a few times that these versions got rejected b/c they're just not as good as the ones that were released. If you're looking for alternate takes on Dylan tunes, you're better off with some of the many live recordings - I'd pick bootleg 4, 5 & 6 over this, and the Concert for Kampuchea set.
HIDDEN TREASURES #2 December 5, 2007

I changed my e-mail so I can't update my last review on this Bootleg Series #7--check out my praise for Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat. It's still me, Nadia. It's called "Hidden Treasures," August 11, 2006. Other than this version of Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat that I love so much I really want to emphasize that there are lots of gems in this 2 album collection. If you still haven't heard Masters of War, I highly suggest hearing it in this live version because the first time I heard it was on this collection and then I heard it later on in his regular album. But this is FAR SUPERIOR. It is indeed so powerful--both in the tune--his guitar, and also the words are so powerful and he does it all by himself!!!! He had courage to stand up against conformity and sing his deepest thoughts--at such a young age. Certainly we should have more Bob Dylans floating around. I was so moved at hearing Masters of War for the first time ever from this live performance, tears rolled down my cheeks, it is so powerful and wonderful!! When the Ship Comes In is one of my very favorites. Read the lyrics to this song! The tune and lyrics together make this a VERY POWERFUL song. This young Bob Dylan is so bursting with talent it is truly unbelievable. Maggie's Farm and Tombstone Blues are stepped up versions of the originals and everyone is having a real blast playing them. They are the versions played at the Newport Folk Festival of the early 60s and you can see parts of these songs played live in the DVD "The Other Side of the Mirror." You will definitely like these versions--I think they are the best. Do not stop with this Bootleg Series #7--I suggest Bootleg Series 1-3, which is also a MUST BUY and a few other first albums--see my other reviews for the entire collection I recommend if you are just starting out with Bob Dylan. So much talent in such a young man!! I find that truly amazing. Don't miss Bootleg Series 1-3 that is a real Chest of Lost Treasures--the Golden Trash Can that contains more masterpieces than this CD set. It costs just a little bit more, but you have more to choose from, and you have two ultimate masterpieces, Blind Willie McTell and Foot of Pride among others! Get both.
Get the DVD October 13, 2007

This is a fun Bob Dylan experience with some insights, especially Bob on camera. Get the DVD as well - they come in a package.
