2025 Charity Shop Purchases #5 - Bob Dylan -The Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3
Bought on the same charity shop expedition as Boz Scaggs and The Staple Singers this was easily the pick of the the bunch
A 3 CD set on Columbia from 1991 to give it its full name The Bootleg Series Volumes 1-3 (Rare & Unreleased)1961 -1991. 58 tracks for £3.99 pretty good on the back of the success of the A Complete Unknown film and from Oxfam to boot!
I was so excited I had to go for a pint!
It joins Volumes 4,7 and 9 on the shelves. It includes a number of absolute bangers but I'm limiting myself, and you, to one from each disc.
The bar for Charity find of the year has been well and truly set
Bob Dylan - When the Ship Comes In (1962)
Never heard of him
ReplyDeleteGreat triple disc CD- lined up for a post next week at Bagging Area
ReplyDeletePlenty of material to choose from Adam!
DeleteStating the bleedin' obvious I know but £3.99 was an absolute steal. A pint could easily have become several pints! Pound for pound I reckon those lyrics on Idiot Wind are about as good as any that Dylan has ever come up with. You just don't get that sort of quality poetry in music these days or any day for that matter. Now. Obviously. I'm not saying great lyrics aren't being written these days but he was/is other worldly special
ReplyDelete"Blind Willie McTell" gets my vote for greatest Dylan song of all time. What a tremendous find!
ReplyDeleteBlimey, that really was a bargain! Yes, a find of the year so far. Mr SDS just paid £9.99 for same.
