This is a great album

Bob Dylan might be said to be the musical equivalent of W.C. Fields. They are so fascinating, you can't stop watching them (or listening to him, in Dylan's case) -- yet you might not really know why. Was W.C. Fields easy on the eyes? No. Did he seem like somebody you might want as your next-door neighbor? Not especially. Was he outrageosly hilarious? I don't think so; but there was some quality about him that keeps your eyes glued to him when you watch one of his movies. Dylan is similar to me: Is he a great musician? No -- all his harmonica "solos" sound pretty much the same, for example. Does he seem like the kind of guy you'd want as your best buddy? Not necessarily -- he seems a little aloof and self-absorbed to me. Is he a great singer? Hardly. Sometimes you wonder if when he's singing he's making fun of somebody else (Woody Guthrie?) or he's putting everybody on with this vocal style. And yet ... there's something sort of addictive about it all. His vocal phrasing and timing are amazing - maybe that's one of the things that makes him so fascinating - he keeps you on your toes that way, constantly changing up the time value of the notes and his intonation. Anyway, Mr. Bob IS a great songwriter, and that's so obvious that it's barely an opinion, but practically an established fact; as proof just take a look at a small subset of the artists who have covered his songs: Johnny Cash Eric Clapton Sam Cooke Flatt & Scruggs Green Day Burl Ives Wyclef Jean B.B. King Dave Matthews Band John Mellencamp Van Morrison Willie Nelson Aaron Neville Ozzy Osbourne Elvis Presley The Ramones Rage Against the Machine The Rolling Stones (Who do a cover of "Like a Rolling Stone") Bruce Springsteen George Thorogood U2 ...and of course The Byrds (who did better versions of many of his songs than he did himself), Joan Baez, etc. Getting back to the earlier comparison, I guess Fields was a comic genius, although it's hard to dissect his work and come up with a plain analysis on just why it can be said he was so talented; the same can be said of Dylan, perhaps: he's a monster, but just why is a bit of a conundrum. All collections of this type leave out at least one song that makes you say, "What were they thinking? Why isn't ___ on here?" In this case, for me, it's "A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall." There are many great Dylan tunes missing that are probably better covered by someone else (such as "My Back Pages" by The Byrds and "Wanted Man" by George Thorogood), but the original of "A Hard Rain" is THE definitive version of that particular song. In summary, I think Dylan is one of the best songwriters ever, and this is a good introduction to and /or representation of his music.

Great great album.this album speaks the truth

This is a great cd really enjoy it

brilliant, not every song that I would have picked as essential but very very good.

Vlotte afhandeling

Para empezar una colección dedicada a Bob Dylan. Esta grabación en dos CDs recoge lo más representativo del genial cantautor de EE. UU. Precio económico.

La primera canción con la que quedé ganchado con la música de Dylan fue The Times they are A-Changin'. Ya había escuchado Like a Rolling Stone y no me había agradado tanto, pero ya después de explorar más de su catálogo fui aprendiendo a apreciar más su obra. Gran influyente sobre todo del género folk, rock e incluso lidereando con su filosofía en movimientos de protesta en favor de la paz, libertad y demás valores humanos. Ya había querido tener material de el y el primer disco que consideré fue el The Times they are A-Changin' precisamente, pero por el precio que tenían las 2 versiones que me topé preferí esperar una oferta, luego apareció este doble disco de éxitos que incluía ese gran tema con el que me inicié en Dylan y no lo pensé 2 veces además del gran precio (menos de 300) cuando lo compré, lo cual lo hacía costar menos de 150 pesos por disco de puros éxitos, y fue una decisión que no tuve que meditar mucho. En cuanto a la calidad del masterizado y grabado estan geniales, se escucha gran detalle, si acaso lo único que corregiría es el detalle del ruido superficial, no es para nada abrumador, simplemente de pronto oyes algun click o pop a bajo nivel que no distrae de disfrutarlo ni arruina la experiencia auditiva. La funda externa no es gatefold y los discos vienen en fundas de papel simple (de las peores que hay, pero las puedes cambiar si prefieres otra cosa), y el gramaje de los discos es bajo (no creo que supere los 150 pero casi seguro es de 120 gr) y trae un inserto con 2 fotos de Dylan por lado y los detalles de qué album y en que año se publicó cada canción, pero lo más importante para mi que es la experiencia auditiva esta genial, para mi es más que suficiente y a un muy buen precio. 100% recomendado!

海外からなので品質的にあまり期待はしていませんでしたが、盤にキズは2箇所程度で音に支障はありませんでした(私の耳が確かならば)。 side3の最後の曲がレコードで聴きたくて購入しましたが、それだけの価値はあります。サイコーです
