Esau. Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 $365 is a tad steep in my opinion, regardless of extras, and considering I already own every album on most formats (vinyl/8-track/cassette/cd etc) I'll pass. Still, kinda cool collectors piece. The Complete Album Collection V.1 (Collector's USB)(Amazon Exclusive) The Bob Dylan Complete Album Collection Vol. One is a colossal box set encompassing the entire official discography of the American songwriter-performer who's revolutionized folk, pop and rock music over the past half century with a profoundly influential catalog of songs and sounds. Beginning with tracks recorded for his eponymous 1962 Columbia Records debut album, the Bob Dylan Complete Album Collection Vol. One follows Dylan's restless transformations across six decades as a singer, a songwriter, a concert performer and a studio artist who's continually finding fresh ways of expressing and exploring the varieties of human experience, worldly and other, with music. The Bob Dylan Complete Album Collection Vol. One also brings together for the first time, on the "Side Tracks" compilation, a wealth of previously released non-album singles, tracks from Biograph and other compilations, songs from films and more. The USB contains 35 studio titles, 6 live albums, the "Side Tracks" compilation and a digital booklet featuring extensive new album-by-album liner notes penned by Clinton Heylin and a new introduction written by Bill Flanagan. All 41 official albums, including 14 newly remastered titles Side Tracks a compilation of previously released songs not included on the original albums Limited, numbered edition User Interface menus and functions to import MP3 s All songs in high quality FLAC format (24bit 44.1kbps) and MP3 format (320kbps) All Original Artwork Digital booklet with extensive liner notes and rare photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boiler Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 That's less than $9 a record,w/o the extras. Price is very reasonable imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau. Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Yeah, it's reasonable for someone who doesn't already own every album. I already have everything on CD, on cassette up to World Gone Wrong(1993) and vinyl up to Time Out of Mind (1997), plus 40+ bootleg recordings on vinyl, including several different versions of the recordings on vinyl that were eventually released as "the Bootleg series".So basically, I'd be paying $365+ for some officially released previously unreleased tracks - almost all of which are already in circulation on various outtake recordings or compilations - and a little flash drive and case. So for me (as mentioned) it's a bit steep for a collectors piece that will sit on the self and probably not get used. It's still a cool set.

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 how many 8-tracks do you own?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Not Bob Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Not to mention a copy of Dylan, an album that has never been released on CD before ... because it is apparently the worst album of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I don't quite get the hate for that one- granted it's not his best but I find it listenable. Might put it on when I get home actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau. Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Not to mention a copy of Dylan, an album that has never been released on CD before ... because it is apparently the worst album of his career.I wouldn't say it's the worst, considering it's really leftover tracks from New Morning and Self Portrait sessions. Personally, my least favourite remains Knocked Out Loaded - although it has a few tracks I quite enjoy now-a-days.Although Bob requested it not be released on CD in North America (or UK for that matter), there was a release in Netherlands, albeit almost 30 years later. I'm also not sure if it was a legit release regardless of the Columbia/Sony markings. I however don't own a copy on disc, only vinyl (N.A and U.K) & cassette version.how many 8-tracks do you own?!?Only two now. Greatest Hits 1 & 2.

Esau. Posted October 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) A quick google search pulled this up:Bob Dylan - A Fool Such As I (1973) Format: CDhttp://www.amazon.com/Bob-Dylan-Fool-Such-As/dp/B000MAOQI0http://www.amazon.co.uk/A-Fool-Such-As-I/dp/B000025YB0http://www.discogs.com/Bob-Dylan-Bob-Dylan-A-Fool-Such-As-I/release/2220588[edit to add]I'm gonna assume now it was a legit release from sony. Although Dylan's website really doesn't make much mention (I could have missed it of course) Edited October 4, 2013 by Guest fixed URL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
