DEEP: Approx 40% unreleased and, of the other 60%, most (if
not all) is in superior quality to what is currently available on
CD. Disks are over 70 minutes each and the packaging rivals any
Dylan CD to date. All in all, a much better collection than GBS
Volume 1. I thought that collection more or less sucked. This one
is different and well worth owning.
CDG: No one will be disappointed with this. It comes with a
booklet of 40 pages, including many photos.
rmd: The package configuration is identical to the original
set. If anything, the photos are even better this time around. The
tracks here seem equally good or superior in sound quality to other
CD releases. The totally new material on GBS2 (disc 1) stands well
enough on its own and is all knock-your-socks-off quality. (Bob
Stacy)
NOTE: The 1999 Scorpio reissue of the set includes a
slightly revamped booklet.
