Sony Music has released just 100 copies of a collection of 86 early Dylan tracks in order to beat a deadline imposed by an impending change in European copyright law and keep the tracks from falling into the public domain. Some are live, some are studio outtakes -- mainly from Freewheelin'. No surprise, it's being heavily pirated, and one copy of the physical CD sold for more than $1,400 on eBay. Here's something I wrote up about it, which might be of interest to some:
