On a related note, it’s rare I buy CDs anymore, since I’m such a sucker for vinyl records, so I’ll have to wait until December before the “Original Mono Recordings” box is released on wax. But rest assured, I’ll let you know how it holds up. However, look for my review of the “Witmark Demos” album, as well as the Amazon pre-order exclusive live album, “Brandeis University” by week’s end.

I wonder if and when all the Bootleg series are released if they will release a BIG BASTARD box set with new stuff. Meaning I will have to buy all this shot again.
