Free Music Notes for Dylan (3CD) (Deluxe Edition)
Free Music Review: Good for going digital, if you're already there then leave it behind
Hit: 3 Stars
I had Dylan on vinyl. This is a decent collection if you haven't "gone digital" yet. For the price, perhaps you're better off buying separate CDs, but I chose this for 1 song I couldn't find elsewhere: Dylan's version of Blind Willie McTell. Sure, that song is on 'The Bootleg Series, Vols. 1-3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961-1991' but the Series is pricey.
I was gambling because I hadn't even heard Dylan's original Blind Willie McTell: just covers by The Band and the Stone's Throw guy. Anyway, it's worth it, perhaps his best song ever. According to Wikipedia, he didn't/doesn't think it's a "finished work." Shows how Dylan is a true genius, because he doesn't know when he's good and doesn't know when he's bad, he just has a compulsion to write and perform. Gotta give Mark Knopfler due credit for his accompaniment here.
Yes, this is a rambling review but if you can put up with Dylan's ups and downs, you can handle it.

Love the CD. Got it brand new at a great deal! Haven't been able to take it out of the CD player yet!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.

love this set. first Dylan purchase so this just about covers it. one of my fav'sFree Music Review: Perfect beginner set.
Hit: 5 Stars
I purchased this set for my boyfriend for his birthday. He hasn't had much experience with Dylan, and it was a great introduction to some of the best of Dylan. It was also an excellent reminder to me of some Dylan classics I haven't listened to in awhile. I would highly reccomend it.
