Free Music Notes for Dylan (3CD) (Deluxe Edition)Free Music Review: Nothing But Great music Hit: 5 Stars I realized I didn't have "Positively 4th Street on CD," and buying this 3CD "Dylan" set from one of the dealers selling through amazon.com, I got this 3CD set new -with shipping- for less than $9.
It's amazing: there's only one track here from "Highway 61 Revisited," NOTHING from "The Basement Tapes" (the notes say "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" is, but it's the "Greatest Hits 2" Happy Traum version), etc., etc.
One could get angry at all the songs *not* here (see all the negative reviews for the Deluxe Edition), and all the Dylan collections this is not (Previously mentioned example: with Tom Petty 1986 -Studio and Live), but what this *is* is "Positively 4th Street" and 47 other GREAT Dylan songs, stretching from one end of his career to the other. Not a single loser.
This CD isn't just Greatest Hits 1, 2 & 3 plus a few more tunes ... it lacks songs on those discs, and has songs that they lack. (Collecting Bob is not a tidy process!)
CAVEAT!!! The one danger is this set may make you buy other Dylan CDs: hearing the beautifully remastered version here of "On A Night Like This" made me buy "Planet Waves," which I'd had on LP and hadn't listened to in years. This set tantalizes:-) And it flows.
Dylan (3CD) (Deluxe Edition) PosterDYLAN is a career-spanning retrospective of Bob Dylan's music. This definitive Bob Dylan collection chronicles the artist's four decades of groundbreaking studio recordings, as well as his unparalleled influence on popular music and culture. DYLAN serves as both a comprehensive introduction for new fans and an expansive, cherished overview for long-time Bob Dylan devotees. The 3 CD deluxe version is housed in a red cloth covered box with a magnetic hinged lid. The DYLAN logo is debossed on the outer lid, and the inside is covered in black velvet fabric with the Columbia logo gold foiled on the inside of the lid. Each CD is housed in an individual inner and outer sleeve. The outer sleeve art is iconic Dylan imagery while the inner sleeves are replica classic Columbia LP sleeves. The CDs themselves are replica vinyl discs. The 40 page booklet is perfect bound and contains extended liner notes and rare photos. Finally each box includes 10 limited edition postcard lithograph prints focusing on pivotal moments in Dylan's career.

It's about time the record-buying public was offered up a decent, updated Dylan compilation! After all, artists with far less in the way of cultural influence, sales figures, or sheer release numbers have put out many more retrospective collections. Think of this, then, as your Dummies' Guide to Dylan. And for those who really aren't sure if they like the reedy Poet of a Generation? or not, there's even a single CD Cliffs Notes-sized version. For everyone else, there's a triple-disc edition with deluxe packaging and nifty artwork. Even the most marginal fan might quibble with the selection--shouldn't, like, half of it be taken from The Basement Tapes, rather than just one tune?--but there's not a mediocre song on here. It's a tad surprising that the songs are arranged chronologically, rather than grouped by grand themes, the way Johnny Cash's music was on his Love, God, Murder set. But then it is such a pleasure to watch Dylan's progression, to listen as he so quickly works through his influences, goes electric, discovers country music and then God-and then finally somehow wraps it all up together like some alchemical, one-man version of Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music. No matter how you wrap it up, or which commercials it acts as the soundtrack to, or what professors might try to eulogize it to death, this is music that remains as thrillingly alive today as a rattlesnake coiled and hissing in your boots tomorrow morning. --Mike McGonigal
