Re: A Bootleg Series.
What I don't get is why no one at Apple wouldn't have wanted to do all this properly by now.
Someone at Sony obviously did want to make sense of Dylan's unreleased projects, and it has clearly paid dividends for him and, I'd argue, has probably put him ahead of The Beatles in terms of cultural importance (possibly) and public recognition (definitely) over the last 25 years.
It's fresh historical product Dylan fans get every two years, unlike The Beatles, and it's Dylan CDs you see in the supermarkets, again, unlike The Beatles.
