5.0 out of 5 stars A difinitive collection for any music fan, January 7, 2000

This review is from: Biograph (Audio CD)

As most music fans I go through phases of what I listen to and when. I purchased this set several months ago and have not had a week go buy that I didn't throw it in the cd player once or twice. The words and the feel of Bob's best and the fresh taste of some of his music that you don't hear a lot of. Tracks such as the Live version of Visions of Johanna and Percy's Song are a must hear. It's All Over Now Baby Blue is a somber additioin to this set. Bob Dylan's Best Of... albums are great but if you have to purchase just one Dylan set this is the one.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great and essential set!, February 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Biograph (Audio CD)

Bob Dylan is stil the person who speaks to generations of music fans. This set gathers some of his best material ever. It goes back to the 60's for great anthems like "Blowin In The Wind', "The Times They Are A Changin", "Like A Rolling Stone" and many others. It also pulls out the best of his 70's material, especially "Tangled Up In Blue." If you're looking for a retrospective on Dylan, this is a good place to start. It also has a nice booklet and information on the recording and writing process of each song. A well put together set that will leave you thirsting for more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Dylan collection, January 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Biograph (Audio CD)

With a song archive as large and incredible as Dylan's, it is impossible for one to release an authoritative 'Greatest Hits' collection on one disc, let alone three. Yet this box set seems to pull it off quite effectively. It starts from the beginning and covers up to the mid-80s. The selection of songs effective illustrate Dylan's development and changes (good and bad) as a musician and songwriter. Some may find this set to be expensive, but it is an essential for even the casual Dylan fan. Alternate takes and live tracks make this a set worthwhile for the fan who has many Dylan CDs. Some key tracks may have been left off, but any attempt to make a collection like this for an artist as great as Dylan will not be perfect.
