The 5CD "Genuine Basement Tapes" changed my life completely. Accept no substitutes.

I think, "Imagine if the '14 Song Demo' or a variant thereof had've been released in late 1967? What sort of effect would it have?" Sure, The Beatles, The Stones, Clapton, etc all had it...big, big influence on all those guys. But somehow, for me, the Basement Tapes would have really upped the ante against a lot of the psychedelic hooey of the time if they'd've put it out when it was recorded.

"quite a lot of material to listen to...a significant amount of filler that didn't quite do it...a few choice nuggets... such as I'm Not There, Silent Weekend, Sign on the Cross, and I Shall Be Released"
You summed it up extremey well!

how can stuff recorded one summer just for the hell of it be called "filler"?
