At that time Bob was the coolest guy on the planet and he knew it. He had the look, the songs, the lyrics and, yes, that voice. The hotel room scene with Donovan is startling, funny, cruel. Bob

The totally unique thing about this set of releases is that, all alone, there's a version of 'Sympathy For The Devil' that has been re-mastered and re-mixed for a 5.1 sound system.

Quoteslewan wrong. Every recording that has not been released 50 years after it was originally recorded becomes public domain. Isn't that the wrong way round? If something has never been released, then copyright etc does not come into the picture. As far as I can tell for something that HAS been released lapses (usually) after 50 years.
