NOTE: To be avoided. Cloned from the similarly titled Hollow Horn release, to which the comments here originally referred. A semi-piratical, thoroughly botched condensation of the For Sale Or Just On The Shelf fan project. Roughly 20 of the 50 tracks have been officially released (despite what the album notes claim), while at least as many unreleased alternate takes and variant forms have been excluded. The only uncommon track is the 32-second "Connecticut Cowboy," the spoken introduction lopped off a song included on Bob Dylan. Even the title quotation is reportedly mangled. An inexplicably awful, utterly misguided effort.

rmd: This set has, to date, been received with undisputed scorn on Usenet groups and major Dylan message boards. Comments have typically been profane and derisive, providing identifying information regarding the issuer; none are suitable for presentation under this Guide's standards, except in heavily redacted form.

ISIS: A beauty; an outstanding effort.
