Of the many Bob Dylan compilations, I never had Masterpieces until fairly recently in a lot purchase. It was always in the store bin at a triple CD import price when my fingers would flip over it in the early 90's Dylan section. In that time period it meant over $50 easy whether it was from Australia, New Zealand or Japan where is was issued for new product for tour purposes in 1978 and reissued on CD in those markets circa 1991 as well as imported to everyone else. I would say I ran across the CD reissue considerably more than when it was a vinyl only import.
I never studied it too hard, so listening to it today was a little surprising due to a ton of live tracks. These were previously issued in other places but it was cool to hear Rolling Thunder era tracks from Hard Rain as well as a UK 60's live B-side of "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues." There were also some singles tracks like the big band version of "George Jackson" as well as "Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window?" An alternate take of "Mixed-Up Confusion" was the sole exclusive track.
A neat now less expensive thing with familiar material.
