The Basement Tapes have often been pitched as Dylan - worn out and weary after the rollercoaster ride he'd been strapped on to throughout the 60's - feeling his way back into the music following the accident and the serious rethink that ensued. Once the proceedings cohere and come into focus, the music doesn't just merit the hype, it actually exceeds it. There's raw and ragged and there's just plain sloppy during the less compelling parts, to paraphrase a well-known nugget from these sessions, nothing is delivered. When Dylan mutters something about wasting tape at some point, it's hard not to concur. At its least rewarding, the 6-CD mammoth contains the type of inept, possibly pissed fumbling the cutting room floor was invented for it's doubtful that even the most fervent Dylanologist would want to regularly revisit the bits in the box where the assembled musicians massacre covers of folk standards and contemporary tunes they are seemingly barely acquainted with in the spirit of 'name that tune' or poke at semi-structured originals that aren't going nowhere in a hurry. Initially, this musicologist's dream can be a less than obsessive listener's nightmare.

Whereas the '75 comp cherry-picked from the sessions, focusing on original Dylan material that was - with a fair bit of success - peddled for other acts to cover in the late 60's, as well as featuring overdubs and other sweeteners, The Basement Tapes Complete goes for the full documentary, verite approach: everything in the order it was recorded, as it was recorded, presented in the best possible audio quality modern re-mastering allows (surprisingly good, in fact: there's some hiss and surface noise but for the main part less so than on the type of vintage Blues record that inspired these proceedings, for example). Having inspired a veritable bootlegging mini-industry before and after 1975's official Basement Tapes comp was put out, Dylan and The Band's industrious undertakings in 1967 are in a league of their own when it comes to music that exists mainly in the sphere of rumour and legend.
There are other 'lost sessions' that merit the term legendary: think of The Beach Boys' Smile recordings, also in 1967, for example.

In private, he soon went on to record this treasure trove (138 tracks!) of material with his touring band (yet to become famous as The Band, the granddaddies of Americana, ironically 80% Canadian) instead at a series of informal jamming and home recording sessions at the basement - hence the title - of The Band's Woodstock H.Q. The accident - seriousness of which has been debated - gave Dylan respite from the type of punishing touring schedule you wouldn't subject a machine to these days, and all the bad habits acquired to sustain and cope with it. The 25-year old Dylan who went flying over the handlebars of his motorcycle in the Woodstock area of upstate New York (Dylan's homebase at that time) early one morning in July 1966 was a bona fide legend.

Done with that in 1965, Dylan plugged in, unleashing a torrent of amphetamine-poetry visions set to a pumping rhythm 'n' blues beat that marked the point when rock (serious artistic intent for the hip grown-ups) officially split up from pop (sugar-sweet nothings for undemanding ears). To start off with, Dylan became a bard for the protest-folk movement in the early 60's, crafting a rich raft of songs that transcended the typical topical limitations of the era and genre they were written in to become timeless classics.
