Bob Dylan - Fourth Time Around (The Genuine Bootleg Series) (2008)

This three disc Scorpio release is an extensive one to review. The package aesthetics are a royal treat. A nicely done box houses a booklet that contains beautiful images and extensive historical information along with the three discs. Each disc comes in its own cardboard sleeve with a great looking photo on the front and the track list on the back. Each disc is beautifully silk screened to include the front cover of its individual sleeve. This is a massive effort as far as packaging. As for content, There are some incredible gems here, but there are also a few pirates and several previously released boots that are collected here due to their relative obscurity. As just a brief overview, the set covers the span of Dylan's career, in chronological order, in much the same fashion as its predecessors. A lot of emphasis, of course, is placed on the 1960's. Disc one contains 1960's songs that are continued over to Disc two. Blended in are about a dozen others, half from the 1970's and half from the 1980's. One incredible highlight that I overlooked for the first few listens is Let’s Keep It Between Us. The final disc is divided between the 1980's and the 1990's, and includes some treats. Despite a few short comings, this package is a true labor of love effort, and you'll be proud to add it to your collection.
