With each passing year, more and more fans sought out this rare contraband, desperate to hear this new music from the legendary Bob Dylan. The actual recordings, however, remained commercially unavailable until , when Columbia Records released a scant 16 of them on The Basement Tapes album that album also included eight new songs by The Band, without Dylan.
Over the years, the songs on The Basement Tapes have haunted and perplexed fans, with the recordings themselves representing a Holy Grail for Dylanologists. Garth Hudson worked closely with Canadian music archivist and producer Jan Haust to restore the deteriorating tapes to pristine sound, with much of this music preserved digitally for the first time.
The decision was made to present The Basement Tapes Complete as intact as possible. Also, unlike the official release, these performances are presented as close as possible to the way they were originally recorded and sounded back in the summer of Personnel: Bob Dylan — acoustic guitar, harmonica, piano, vocals Rick Danko — bass guitar, vocals Garth Hudson — organ Richard Manuel — piano, drums, vocals Robbie Robertson — electric guitar, drums, vocals Levon Helm — drums, vocals.
