Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan Greatest Hits (12 tracks) +Album Reviews

Like it's American Cousin, a Fine Stand Alone Record

Tiffany Ann | Black Diamond Bay | 04/02/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This record came out after a long lapse, probably because of Dylan's motorcycle accident. At least that's what I've read. Unlike a lot of hits records and like it's American cousin, this is a great stand alone record in it's own right and it flows as if all of the songs were meant for this record and this record alone. However, the tracks are in a different order than on the American version. On this record the tracks appear to be ordered by the times they were originally recorded, so the record starts with "Blowin' in the Wind", rather than with "Rainy Day Woman." In addition, "Positively 4th Street" is not on the record, but it's been replaced by not one, but three extra songs and they're all good ones. This is just a wonderful record and one any Dylan collector will want to own."

No 4th Street, Bummer

"My dad says the problem with this record when it came out, back in the day, was that it didn't have "Positively 4th Street" on it. The collectors, though, all had to have it because of the different cover. The above editorial says this version has three songs not included on the American version, "She Belongs to Me" and "It's All Over Now Baby Blue" from "Bringing it All Back Home," and "Sooner or Later" from "Blonde on Blonde." So what? "4th St." is still not on it and since any serious Dylan fan already owns "Bringing it All Back Home," and "Blonde on Blonde," there is no reason to buy this CD. Still the material is outstanding, so I'm giving it three stars anyway.

European Version, Different, but Very Good

Ophella Paige | Reno, Nevada | 04/03/2006

"I really like this album. I love "Tambourine Man", love the subtle electric guitar. I adore "It Ain't Me Babe," it ain't no stinkin' love song. And neither is "Positively 4th Street." These are bitter and biting songs that grip like glue. "If you were standing in my shoes, you'd know what a drag it is to see you." What a line. Nobody writes them like Bob Dylan. "Rolling Stone", "Rainy Day Woman," and "I Want You," three jumpin' rockers. And then there is "Just Like a Woman," Lord I love that song that shows what a mesmerizing voice Dylan can have when he wants to. And, of course, I can't forget that song that is almost impossible to sing along with, " Subterranean Homesick Blues." Try memorizing the lyrics to that one, try singing them without the record playing. Was Dylan ahead of his time? You betcha."
