EDLIS: EDLIS has recommended "Thin Wild Mercury
Music" over The Lonesome
Sparrow Sings for years now, but only by a whisker...
BIAB: This is an excellent, well-packaged disc. It brings together some
of the rarer material from 1965 and 1966, when Dylan was going for
that "thin wild mercury sound." Several rarities are
included. Sound quality for all of these tracks is as good as any
I've ever heard and the selections are well thought out; however,
the track order is more random than chronological order.
rmd: Though most of this material has circulated in various
forms for years, it is very welcome to have all of these studio
tracks collected on a single, well-engineered disc. The packaging
is quite nice. The overall sound quality is very high. Some of the
information on sources is inaccurate. (Dan Brazeale)
AMG: A very interesting compilation of Dylan's best
rare/unreleased material from the mid-'60s. In most cases you can
hear why these were rejected for his '65-66 albums; but there are
very good, substantially different alternate takes here.
