Dylan’s emergence and maturation as a songwriter and performer, from Minnesota to the Greenwich Village bohemia in the early 1960s.
It includes rare Columbia Records outtakes, recordings made at club dates, in tiny informal gatherings, in friends’ apartments, and at jam sessions in long-gone musicians’ hangouts.
The 2CD Highlights edition features 42 tracks, of which 18 are completely unreleased as well as 9 super-rare cuts.
