Here we are-a second volume of Bob Dylan's greatest hits on over two discs. This volume picks up from where the first one left off. Spanning from the final days of 1967 to the fall of 1971, the time of this compilation's release. Also featured here are early 60s to mid 60s classic that didn't make the first volume are surely welcomed here which is why this volume is a double disc collection not to mention a previously live track from 1963-"Tomorrow Is A Long Time" and three songs recorded specifically this release originally from The Basement Tapes back in 1967-"I Shall Be Released"; "You Ain't Going Nowhere" and "Down In The Flood" with Dylan accompanied by Happy Traum on second guitar, bass, banjo and harmony vocal. Also from that very year was the single "Watching The River Flow" recorded with Leon Russell on piano, Jesse Ed Davis on slide guitar, Jim Gordon on drums and Carl Radle on bass all of whom are also featured on "When I Paint My Masterpiece". Two songs are each featured from the albums John Wesley Harding and Nashville Skyline-"All Along The Watchtower"; "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight"; "Lay Lady Lay" and "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You", respectively. There is one song each from the albums Self Portrait and New Morning-"The Mighty Quinn(Quinn The Eskimo)" and "If Not For You". As for the other pre-1967 songs that are welcomed on this release are two songs apiece from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, Another Side Of Bob Dylan and Bringing It All Back Home-"Don't Think Twice, It's All Right"; "A Hard Rain Is A-Gonna Fall"; "All I Really Want To Do"; "My Back Pages"; "Maggie's Farm" and "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue". There's also one song each from the albums Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde On Blonde-"Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" and "Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues".
If this is some compilation then you'll agree. A wonderful mix of later Dylan songs as well as old favorites plus a few extras thrown in to make a great double disc compilation. If you love the first volume, you will twice as love this one too.

Bob Dylan. Ya hate him or ya love him. Not sure there is an "inbetween". For some of you "doubters" you might want to start with some of his later recordings. He has done some out of the Dylan realm type songs that may interest you. Me? HUGE FAN. Always have been. I have over 3/4 of his albums and still deciding what to get next. A singer - songwriter who has an Academy Aware, Presidential Medal of Freedom, and Nobel Peace prize, that made his roots grow in the tumultuous 60's ... probably has something you might relate to. This Volume II is another tribute to his early classics. You won't be disappointed

I had this album some 45 years ago on vinyl. Not sure why I waited so long to update to modern technology, but it is worth the wait. Glad to have it again! Watching the River Flow is the first song here, and my favorite one on the album. I think this is the only place to find that song on any album.
If you like Dylan, then this is required listening.
If you are new to Dylan, a good place to start.

Very poor sound quality compared to Dylan's most recent remastered releases, avoid this!!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2018Verified Purchase
This is a money grab by the record company. It was remastered in 1999 and very poorly. There is no depth or presence to the music. If you don't have a good sound system you may not care. Listening to this is like drinking flat soda pop-no fizz. Also, no need of 2 CD's would fit on one and there are no liner notes or details provided at all. In other words no effort on the part of the record company to provide a quality product. Columbia must have had a bunch of these leftover in the warehouse. Should have sent them to a landfill. Luckily one of the CD's would not even play-I returned it.

I wish the reviews for each release of an album could be separated. There are a lot of reviews for this particular Dylan collection, but none pertain specifically to the new Audio Fidelity SACD mastered by Steve Hoffman. So here goes:
I just listened to the stereo SACD layer, and I was admittedly a bit disappointed. Still, it's a great album, so I heard it all the way through. I switched over to the CD layer and skipped through, and the sound was very similar to the SACD layer.
Then I played the remastered Sony CD from a couple of years ago. It sounded awful compared to this SACD! So curiousity made me put on the original Columbia CD from the nineties, and that was unlistenable. Man, I can't believe I used to listen to that disc constantly. I guess my ears have improved with time.
The point is, these recordings aren't perfect, but Hoffman definitely nailed the mastering on this one. This is as good as it'll ever be - full frequency response, nice detail. There always seems to be one or two things in the mixes that bother me, but those annoyances are minimized in this edition. And again, the detail is staggering.
As a bonus, "Tomorrow Is Such A Long Time", which always faded up on the LP and subsequent CDs, now starts with Dylan telling the audience "This one's called Tomorrow Is Such A Long Time", which is a very cool bonus for a quickee live recording that's become an icon over the decades.
Buy this before it's gone, which will probably happen very soon.

A well organized collection of some of Dylan's best tunes. This amazing group of songs represents the power of Dylan's lyricism and story-telling. A genius and an American treasure. So, yeah, his voice isn't Pavarotti- but no one delivers these messages like the creator himself.

BOB DYLAN VOL 2
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 15, 2014Verified Purchase
What can anyone write new about Dylan's music that hasnt been written already? Well here i go another collection of greatest hits and many of the songs i knew from pervious albums but one of songs i did'nt know was (Tomorrow is a long time) any of you who are fans of the tv smash The Walking Dead will know this song is used at the end of the very last eipsode of season 1 and Elvis also covers this song which is suberb Dylan stated this was his favourite song cover. But of course there's plenty of other great songs here such as When i paint my masterpiece, Tonigh i'll be staying here with you. Maggie's farm etc. A great add on to my Bob Dylan collection..

A double album of Dylan hits has to be good, but this is especially so because it's got some stuff not on other albums. Especially Watching the river flow. I got it to replace my worn out old tape version. Note: it was originally released as More Greatest Hits - not sure why they changed the name.
