The 4-CD set entitled The Complete Supper Club is definitely worth getting. It's an audience recording, and since The Supper Club is a small place and the audience were (understandibly) very excited, the sound quality is not all we have come to expect of recent CD boots, but it's quite listenable with a little knob twisting. All four sets are presented in their entirity, one per disc. The first disc has the noisiest crowd, while the second has the foggiest sound. Disc three has the best sound, and disc four has the best songlist. Performances are very strong throughout. Sleevenotes are "bootlegged" from Ian Woodward's review of the four shows which appeared in his Wicked Messenger column in the English Dylan magazine Isis.

These shows have also been released by Wanted Man as two double CDs. However, I hear that Wanted Man (and its sister company Silver Rarities) has recently been busted, so these might be hard to find.
