BIAB: Starting with volume four, the rest of the unreleased basement tapes began to go public. What we have here are some of the most entertaining songs in the whole collection. They're also the poorest sounding with lots of distortion and occasional drop outs from time to time. Still, there is some very good material here. In fact, I would have to say that volumes 4 and 5 are my favorites of the series. Bob and the Band are having a lot of fun here. The fun is contagious.

AMG: The loosest set of tracks, including some fairly goofy material.
