Oh, I've heard both Blood on the Tracks and Self-Portrait before, and I've been looking for Blood on the Tracks for a while now. It's just that most copies of Blood are more expensive than they should be or are in trashed condition, while I have the option to get Self-Portrait at a decent price at the moment.

Exactly! I've heard it a couple times and it's fascinating. That version of the Boxer...wow. And there is just so much content on Self-Portrait that it's just worth hearing every now and again.

Obviously you meant underrated! I don't even remember that song, honestly. Half of that album I basically don't remember. I just throw it on and it sounds pleasant. Perhaps another listen is in order!

Recently I've stopped buying albums on CD unless that's the only way the album is available. Otherwise I just listen to cd rips until I can get a copy. So if anything breaks my run of Dylan on vinyl, it'd probably be Bootleg Series 1-3. It's CD-only as far as I can tell. Some of the Bootleg Series have been released on vinyl (the concerts?), but frankly they are too expensive for the content you get so I don't plan on bothering. I love Dylan but I'm not going for 100% complete discography collection here.
Sudden boom of activity in here. Wowzers.
