Named after a tarot card, the 10-LP box ZIMMERMAN TEN OF SWORDS is the most famous Bob Dylan bootleg of all time; 'The Only Definitive Collection' contains material Dylan recorded between 1961 and 1966, and was 'released as a response to BIOGRAPH'.
In addition to the 134 previously unreleased tracks from 1961 to 1966 of the eight + hours of music, the other wonderful thing about the set was the 16-page book that was included.
The text, mostly written by Paul Cable (HIS UNRELEASED RECORDINGS), included sections with comments on every album side.
But there were some problems with the book, though. One of the problems was that the type set was small and sometimes hard to read; another big problem is that most people who would like to have a copy of it, didn't. The restrictive price of the set and the rare occurrence of it ever being for sale severely limited the availability. While some have copies of the TEN OF SWORDS on cassette tape or CD-r, most do not have a copy of the book.
A third problem with the book was that it was not professionally proofread and edited:
many, many problems with the grammar and punctuation were not corrected before publication. Information bobsboots.com. [0925]
The booklet carries a warning: "Most of the text in this book was written by Paul Cable. However, Mr. Cable is in no way responsible for compilation, production, or manufacture of this project. He has never even met the culprits. So leave him alone".
