Nov 25, 2014No wonder those were kept in basement for so long, and if there was any common sense left ( but greed and money thirst :) ) - this 6 cd box set would never be released. Even Slow Train Coming is more interesting.

Nov 12, 2014Seriously - did everyone drink the kool-aid on this one? I love Dylan - but most of this is useless filler. The real Basement Tapes double album is plenty - you don't need the deleted scenes from it - and they are certainly not 10/10 material.

Classic Rock MagazineDec 16, 2014Necessarily lo-fi, one accepts the sonic limitations of cheap tape and the fact this material was never meant to be released. [Jan 2015, p.120]

Dec 11, 2014Nearly a half-century after the sometimes haphazard creation, this music retains every bit of its intimacy, mystery, and resonance, and The Basement Tapes Complete boxes it up with the respect and insight it demands.
