FRANK SINATRA: A TOUR DE FORCE (Bravura). A live bootleg recording of a 1959 concert in Melbourne, Australia, with the Red Norvo Quintet. It's not only Sinatra's generic greatness that makes this one a must. He seldom worked with small groups, and the agility of Norvo and friends really gives the Chairman room to move. And when Sinatra moves, the earth does...
...DYLAN: THE BOOTLEG SERIES, VOLS. 1-3 (Columbia). Since its release almost five months ago, this mind-snapping collection of rare, unreleased or alternate takes of 58 Dylan tunes has racked up sales over 300,000 and has inspired everyone from Paul McCartney to Frank Zappa to scour their vaults.

Next week Zappa will kick off his "Beat the Boots!" campaign with the release of a 10-album Bootleg Box of his own music that had been bootlegged.

But that advantage may prove fleeting because an array of new formats is poised to enter the market: digital audiotapes, digital compact cassettes and even recordable mini discs. While those formats are likely to contain devices to thwart mass copying, musicians may find that the only way to beat the bootleggers is to drown them out with legitimate material...
