The new compilation is superb!
With outtakes and alternative takes.

I´m listening to it now.
I advise any casual Dylan fans who are hesitating to buy another Dylan
compilation to dive right in. This is no greatest hits collection.

Thanks. It's on my mental shopping list should I ever get to a music store.

True.

But like a girl, I only need one really good one.

Tell Tale Signs is superb. I recommend the 3 CD set, even if it is HIGELY expensive ...

is on my wanted-list, but I'm out of $$$ right now! still looking forward to it nevertheless!

My friend from Sony gave me a copie... It's still in the plastic, thinking about giving it to some on the org because i'm not a Dylan fan.. Just got to figure out how should i do it... should i make it conteast or something

After buying his "Dylan" 3 Cd set (a year ago...around the same time I saw him in concert at my college) I was interested in hearing more from him. I heard what I think was a new song from him. Maybe it was from this release.

That version of "born in time" sounds very similar the version eric clapton put on his pilgrim album.

Fantastic release! Some of the tracks are even better than the ones on the albums: Mississippi (version 1 and 2), Most Of The Time, (I loved the Oh Mercy Lanois produced version but this one wins hands down!) and Born In Time are all superior.

Absolute highlight for me is 'Cross The Green Mountain' from a 2002 civil war documentary, beautiful lyrics.

So if you like Oh Mercy, Under The Red Sky, Time Out Of Mind, Love & Theft and Modern Times this is a must have.
I only have the 2 disc version but I hope the other tracks will be available on iTunes soon!

Best release of 2008 for me.

it´s amazing that Dylan can still polarize the general public.

Some love him or can at least appreciate his genius
and others fin his voice and style truly irritating

I´ve been a fan for over 20 years and it still irks me somewhat to her him roughly criticised.

But you understand why, right? He's definitely not for everyone. I think he's incredible but it took me awhile.

No, just give it to me!

I did not become a Dylan fan until last year when I saw him live. Maybe it was a few years ago, and even though he sort of talks instead of sings his songs.....his band was kick ass and the sound was great. I have his last 3 albums or so and would love to get this one. Start the contest now please?

Do you mean he has a certain style which isn´t very commercial at the moment?

I just mean that his voice is more nasal and he does not really sing. He just speaks. Which is cool.....I mean it is Dylan. But I can see where some might take issue with that fact.
