DEEP: Another reissue from the Scorpio folks, this one
presenting the Highway 61 Revisited acetate tracks,
including different mixes, mono mixes, outtakes and
alternate/single versions (most notably the "Desolation Row" outtake). Quality is excellent but do expect the
flaws in the acetate to cause some pops and clicks, and there are
short periods where a buzzing noise is evident. A nice collection
of things you may or may not have elsewhere. The package features
some wild color pics of Bob from this period and many B&W pics from
1965 inside the studio.
NOTE: The CD packaging identifies this disc as
"Highway 61 Revisted [sic] Again." Although the disc is most often reported as taken from Highway 61 Revisited acetates, the source for most tracks is apparently a reel-to-reel compilation of session mixes made in early August 1965 for copyright/publishing purposes.
