NOTE: Deceptively retitled/repackaged semiprofessional clone of Genuine Bootleg Series 3, to which the excerpted review was originally directed. Packaging is markedly sparser than the Scorpio edition.
DEEP: A startling collection of unreleased tunes and perhaps
the most enjoyable and surprising of the 3 released so far. GBS3 is a desert island collection. The tracks flow together so perfectly and capture each of the many
phases of Dylan's ever changing art perhaps as well as anything ever has.
