For Sale Or Just On The Shelf is an attempt to gather the circulating Bob Dylan Columbia
Studios Recording Session Outtakes (1961-1964) into a reasonably
logical, hopefully useful, accessible compilation. It is arranged
chronologically and includes as accurate as possible identifications for
the session takes and sources. Selected alternate mixes and live
performances are included for interest and comparison.
