Great review as always Jamie! Mine arrived on Friday and I am totally impressed with the overall presentation! Looking forward this week to the John Wetton (U.K. - King Crimson-Asia) Box set. Digging into the Bryan Ferry remastered "Mamouna" Deluxe 3 CD Box with his unreleased album ‘Horoscope’

good job

Excellent unboxing! There's an 8 LP (Japan only) pressing available. I almost bought it until I found out with shipping it'd cost me over $400 US! 😳

Yikes. That is a lot for shipping.

Wonderful box set. It gets an A+ for presentation. But, that Bob Dylan live era isn't for me. I'd enjoy a 50th anniversary "The Complete Before The Flood" box set for next year.

A "Complete" Before the Flood would be amazing!

Remixed and Remastered?

Do you buy the dire straits box live and the zappa overnight 50th?

I am waiting for the Zappa box. I may pull the trigger on the Dire Straits live box. It does look good.

Well, that’s a beautifully packaged and produced box set. No argument. However, after listening to the music, I can honestly say that it’s STILL not worth the price. I am not and never have been a fan of this phase of Dylan’s career, and the remastered version and unreleased music does nothing to change my opinion. For those that like this period, God Bless. It is still too expensive. It’s a boutique item, I get it, but in today’s economy, that $150.00 or more is going to help my gas bill.

Box sets of this size, in my experience, are a little obnoxious, particularly if it's just for 4 CDs. The booklets and pictures feel like something I'd prefer to peruse at a library, rather than house until death. I enjoy Dylan, but don't worship him, and therefore would rather have one small booklet and a box 1/3 the size for half the price. As I get older I'm getting smarter about music purchases. And of course, the reality is all of this music can be found for free if you spend a little time searching for and must hear it.

Since I'm being grumpy, I'll also add it's frustrating when you preorder something like this, then months later it's 20%-30% cheaper. That happened to me with a Neil Young box. The Grateful Dead ensure pre-order/subscribers get the best deal and extras. Seems fair.
