Dylan (3CD) Reviews:
Good but not great ! 
2007-10-31 - I'm an old Dylan fan and I own all his albums.
Bob is the best and of course the music of this compilation is good and the choice of tracks is correct. But I won't give this box 5 stars because of his concept.
The choice made is to have all the obvious tracks in chronoligical order.
I understand that. But still I would have prefered some more risks (what about Farewell Angelina ; Senor ; Desolation Row ; Idiot Wind ; When The Ship Comes In ; Tears Of Rage ; I and I ; Shot Of Love ; Angelina ; I Pity The Poor Immigrant ; Dear Landlord ; Percy's Song ? . I would have also been for the inclusion of some great live performances ( Visions Of Johanna 66 ; It's all over now baby blue 66 ; One too many morning 76).
And I would have chosen a non chronoligical tracking order : think of The Greatest hits Vol 1, 2 and 3 or Biograph, they work !
The I'm not there soundtrack demonstrates well that another kind of compilation would have been better !
The Best Anthology Available Of Bob Dylan's Work 
2007-10-19 - Not to be confused with a like-titled rarities collection released in 1973, DYLAN is the best anthology of Bob Dylan's work out there, surpassing THE ESSENTIAL BOB DYLAN and BIOGRAPH, bringing us from his early acoustic folkie days in 1962, through his electric period of HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED and BLONDE ON BLONDE, right on up to 2006. This collection is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL for anyone who even pretends to like Bob Dylan, and his opposition to Indonesia's trumped-up 2005 dug-smuggling conviction of a young Australian tourist makes DYLAN an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience.
Dollar for dollar it's a good deal for the inquisitive
2007-10-10 - Who should buy this? Someone who only owns one or two or three Dylan discs and wants to get a better sense of the whole career. No one who owns more than 10 Dylan discs needs this collection. Use the money to buy three more discs you don't have.
The "Deluxe Box Set" version is getting a lot of one-star reviews because it's so obviously a piece of overpriced product. THIS version costs no more than $35 at full price (compared to $50 for the deluxe version). That puts it at $10 more than "The Essential Bob Dylan," the two-disc career overview. (If you buy the greatest hits collections, volumes 1, 2, and 3, you get ripped off with volume 1, which has the short playing time of the original vinyl album, and you get ripped off with volume 2, which puts 78 minutes of music on two discs and then charges you accordingly.)
So, dollar for dollar, this box set is the best investment for a casual fan who wants to hear more. YOU GET THE MAXIMUM MINUTES OF MUSIC FOR YOUR MONEY, AND IT COVERS THE WHOLE CAREER.
However, there is absolutely nothing imaginative about the set of songs chosen here. There are no real rarities, either. At least "Greatest Hits Volume 2" was imaginative and offers rarities.
If you already have "Greatest Hits," I'd skip this and buy "Biograph." Now THAT was a great box set!
Finally, a full career retrospective on 3 discs
2007-10-04 - While, it is missing a few gems like "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight", "Shelter From The Storm", and "Series Of Dreams", along with the hits "I Want You" and "The Mighty Quinn", "Dylan" is an excellent compilation covering 42 years in Bob's amazing career.
