The review is mixed. The Package is fair, though not outstanding. The graphic aesthetics are weak. Full historic info on the tracks is included on the insert. The recordings are a mixed bag of rarities and standard fare in a range of sound quality. The gem that makes this package worth the price is the previously unknown You've Been Hidin' Too Long, a searing protest a'la Masters Of War. The rarely heard Working On A Guru, from a May 1, 1970 studio tape with George Harrison and Charlie Daniels is a Beatlesque pop song. Both songs are in great quality. Let Me See is little more than Bob humming a chorus to guitar chords, but it causes one to wonder if this nice sounding tune ever developed further. There are other highlights that make this a nice addition to the collection, especially for the fan of studio outtakes. © 2001-2002 Craig Pinkerton Bobsboots.com |
