Bob Dylan hates bootleg albums, but he has consented to the official release of a series of albums called The Bootleg Series. (Earlier releases that also included songs that were previously available only as bootlegs are the 1975 album The Basement Tapes, which included numerous recordings from Great White Wonder album; and the 1985 five-LP or three-CD retrospective Biograph). To date, nine volumes have been released in The Bootleg Series, the most recent (The Bootleg Series Vol. 9: The Witmark Demos: 1962–1964) in 2010.
