The Basement Tapes

　Material from the sessions had been heavily bootlegged since 1968, with the most famous being 1969's Great White Wonder. It wasn't until Dylan's comeback with Blood on the Tracks in 1975 that any of it was officially released, and The Basement Tapes was welcomed with high praise from fans and critics. Compiled by Robbie Robertson, the album features new songs and many overdubs made by The Band long after the original sessions. More complete and authentic documents of the 1967 tapes have since surfaced and are traded by fans, while the later Band tracks have appeared as bonus tracks on CD reissues of their proper albums.

　　The Basement Tapes peaked at #7 in 1975 on Billboard's (North America) Pop Albums chart and reached #8 in the UK. In 2003, the album was ranked number 291 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

伴随Blood On The Tracks的成功，为了快速获利，哥伦比亚唱片公司在5个月之后发行了The Basement Tapes，这部专辑从Dylan和The Band乐队于1967年在位于西索格蒂斯乐队名叫Big Pink的房子的地下室录制的磁带小样中，选取了16首歌曲，后来又增加了The Band乐队单独录制的8首歌曲（包括Levon Helm代替

1967年6月到10月，迪伦与the band在后者的车库big pink里用两轨录音机录制了一些样带，他们总共录制了超过一百首样带。在这些录音中迪伦回归了他的民谣根源，但它称之为有关历史的传统音乐。后来又被称为Americana以及alt-country

The Basement Tapes的精髓是“一种过程，一种家庭录音的感觉”，因此他们把其他来源的内容收入专辑也是合理的。另一种确实很有分量的批评是，他们遗漏了那些录音中最为重要的几首歌，比如说Quinn the Eskim、I Shall Be Released和I'm Not There。——经典摇滚音乐指南
