Bit late now, but for a while earlier today the Dylan 'Original Mono Recordings' box was available for $40.58 at Amazon. It was the bonus disc edition too! Just missed it unfortunately.

I got in on that deal, even ordered the next day shipping option because the whole thing was so cheap.

I've noticed the mono box can easily be had for $100 on Ebay. Makes me chuckle to think of the freak-out which ensued on the Hoffman board when someone heard that EMI was only pressing 10,000 copies per continent ... "will there be enough?!?!?"

Actually I believe I read that they did run out, weeks after release, and repressed.

I heard there are loads of counterfeits too which tend to be priced on the low side.

I'll divert the Dylan box to your address if you send me 2 Wolf Biermann cds of your choice! :tophat:

Yes, lots of those are around, unfortunately. Caveat emptor on the low price deals. Buy from reputable sellers only.

Would you be able to tell if you ended up with a bootleg set? Are the differences or lack of quality from a sound or manufacturing standpoint that obvious?
