Dylan: Bootleg Series, The Cutting Edge

Hi guys,

I'm considering getting this new catalogue of Dylan's material from his 1965-6 honeymoon period but I'm very sceptical. Has anybody listened to this? Obviously there is no overstating what kind of an artist he was during this part of his career, so in that sense this release holds value as a historical document, although I really don't see how any of the 7 alternate versions of Like a Rolling Stone could be better than the one that ended up on Highway 61 or even add much in terms of perspective. Still, I'm very curious about this stuff.
