        15. Series Of Dreams
            Mar/Apr 89 Oh Mercy Session The CDs are packaged in a glossy folding cardboard sleeve (12 x 12 cm) with photographs from the first half of Bob's career. Included is a booklet that gives details of the tracks and includes further photographs. Also reprinted is a piece written by Clinton Heylin for Goldmine about the CBS Bootleg Series 1-3.

            Many of the tracks included in this collection are already circulating with the exception of six tracks which Olof wrote about some weeks ago. The package is very well produced and presented. It is much less convenient to handle than Great Dane's 'You Don't Know Me', but contains a much more representative sample of Dylan's career. Opinions will vary as to whether this is the 'definitive' collection - time will tell but I think that it will prove less distressing to Cambridge librarians.
