Creator/ColumbiaRecords finally released an official version of ''The Basement Tapes'' in 1975 to general critical acclaim, though some were disappointed that some of the best-known tracks were left off, while others were "improved" with newly-recorded overdubs, and the album was padded with unrelated songs The Band had recorded (without Dylan) between 1968 and 1975. While the official release still held a lot of great music, the bootleggers didn't go out of business. In TheEighties, fans got ahold of a bunch of higher quality reels, giving the jam sessions and song sketches their first public airings, resulting in several highly-sought after bootleg CD sets. Famed music critic Greil Marcus even devoted a whole book to the then-unreleased recordings.[[note]]1997's ''Invisible Republic'', later retitled ''The Old, Weird America''[[/note]]
Over the years, ''The Basement Tapes'' -- official and unofficial -- have been seen by many as some of the most influential recordings of Dylan's career, with the mix of old and new themes and styles anticipating both country rock and AlternativeCountry, while completely revamping his approach to song-writing. Even though many of the songs are simple and full of silly wordplay, they often have dark undertones and play on old folk traditions -- what Marcus called "the old, weird America".

In the summer of 1967, Dylan had [[TenMinuteRetirement been on a break]] from the music business for a year after the fabled motorcycle crash following his world tour in 1966. ([[WordOfGod According to himself]], he just really wanted to spend some time with his family.) When his former backing band The Hawks moved into a house down the road from him in Woodstock, New York, they soon started getting together in its basement for informal jams on old folk, blues, country, gospel and rock'n'roll tunes, and Dylan eventually started bringing newly-written material in the same vein. By the end of 1967, The Hawks had transformed themselves from a rowdy bar band to roots rock legends Music/TheBand, and Dylan had written dozens of songs including "I Shall Be Released", "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere", "Crash On The Levee (Down In The Flood)", "This Wheel's On Fire", "Tears Of Rage", and "Quinn The Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)".

* RearrangeTheSong: An interesting little mini-session on the complete box set has Dylan doing full-band takes on a few of his older songs, with the others backing him in a similar fashion to how they did on his 1966 world tour. The most unexpected one is a [[EpicRocking 6 and a half minute]] rendition of [[Music/TheFreewheelinBobDylan "Blowin' in the Wind"]] that slows it down and gives it a BluesRock feel.
