Jewels and Binoculars

Jewels and Binoculars is a bootleg album by Bob Dylan. It was released in 2000 and is the most complete audio documentation of the 66 World Tour available to this day(with 26 discs in all). It includes as many performances as could be found including audience recordings, and line recordings.

With the Album
It comes with a 100 page booklet, a copy of Dylan's 1966 European tour program, and a slipcase-style outter box that houses three inner boxes. The inner boxes contain 13 unique slip covers that hold two discs each.The huge booklet that comes with this set has transcriptions of the radio broadcast, press conferences, and Eat The Document. It also includes a load of other articles about Dylan. All of the discs in the Jewels And Binoculars collection come in double jewel boxes, except disks 25 & 26 which come in a cardboard sleeve that resembles a gatefold vinyl record jacket.
Reviews
The album was very well received by die-hard fans and collectionists. Though it was criticized for the price and amount of discs that had to be bought. One such review stated the following
There is not much new here. Though a fantastic set to be proud of owning... the reality is that there is just too much. It's overkill to hear every version of every song from every night. The manufacturers choose to put one show per disc (or a long show on two separate discs. While this creates wonderful flow and progression, it also adds several more discs to the package. And of course, worst of all is the retail price of this behemoth. If you want all of the 1966 recordings, this is a prestigious way to own them. However, one might simply choose to obtain the discs that interest them most on CDr., and save enough money to make a car payment.
