More information is available here.The first edition print run is limited to 10,000 copies, so reserve your copy now.It is available for $130 (US), £85 (UK), 100 Euros (EU). Order before April 1 and it will ship to you for free anywhere in the US or EU. Click here for details.I pre-ordered, but will probably end up canceling it. I don't like the idea of putting everything into a binder. I'd rather have all the CDs on my shelf. Not to mention my collection is a mixed bag of jewel cases, digipacks, and small sets for the Bootleg Series. I've always wondered why there was never a "Complete Bob Dylan Collection" set though, and this might be the closest thing to it that we'll see for awhile.

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I'd like to take this opportunity to share that Bob fast becoming one of my favourite artists of all time, having been introduced to his music about 12 months ago.I currently own "Blood on the Tracks" and "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan". I listen to them a lot. I will buy another album once I've saved up some money. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Run, don't walk, to your local CD shop and buy "Blonde on Blonde". Then get "Highway 61 Revisited", "Bringing it All Back Home", and "Time Out of Mind". Then, only then, a Jedi will you be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard a lot of his music, but owning it is a different thing. I can't afford all of his albums at once so I'm going one at a time, not in any particular order.

Have you heard it? How does it sound? I got the Beatles mono box, and it's a mixed bag. The earlier albums sound amazing in Mono, but some of the later ones sounded better in the stereo mix.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 I was asking you for the same reason I want them, but don't know if it's worth it because I already have like 6 of the 8 albums or something like that. With The Beatles, you probably need both box sets to get the best listening experience. Didn't they stop doing mono and starting recording in stereo at a certain point? That could be why some of the later ones don't sound as good, because they weren't meant for mono. I only have the Stereo Remasters though, and it all sounds good to me.

Naïve Old Fart 9,556 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I have a quick Bob Dylan question: Today, I purchased a CD of "Dylan (A Fool Such as I)" from my local charity store, for the princely sum of £2.99 - that's about $4.50, in pristine condition, I might add! The curious thing is that it is on the Columbia label, and not on the (MCA?) label.I am aware of the history of the album, so...have I just got an incredibly good bargain, or are there more like that out there?

Naïve Old Fart 9,556 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 It's supply-and-demand, pure and simple. If people are willing to pay $100 for a Dylan box-set, then who is Sony to argue..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 All of Dylan's sets have been like that. Vol. 8 was the same price I think, if not more.I just want a complete Dylan box with everything. Make it happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Guess it's happening. Inside my Another Self Portrait case was a slip advertising the Complete Album Collection.- All 41 official albums, including 14 newly remastered titles- Side Tracks - 2CD compilation of previously released songs not included on the original albums- All the original artwork reproduced- Hardcover booklet with extensive new liner notes and rare photosI guess this omits compilation sets? Don't know how many albums he has off the top of my head. Also wonder if the Bootleg Series is included. If so, for shame. Advertise a better version of what I just bought inside of it? Damn them, they know us Dylan fans will fork it over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,378 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 He has 35 studio albums so I dunno how they got 41. I doubt the bootleg series are included. The additional 6 albums are likely either live CDs or compilation albums I guess... hard to say.EDIT: Is it possible to figure it out from the picture?Also, found this online:I counted. This is how I get it to 41 albums. I'm sure we're talking 41 albums here (plus the 2 CD's with non-album tracks), not 41 CD's total. I didn't include "The 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration".

Naïve Old Fart 9,556 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Jason, since "A Fool Such As I" was done for MCA, will it be included in the box?I need this in my life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Yes, I think Columbia retained rights to release all his music a few years ago when they released all his music as an iTunes exclusive. Even the infamous "Dylan" album was included and as you can see it's here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Has anyone else besides me heard Shadows In The Night? I wasn't impressed with my first listen, but after reading this excellent interview, I want to go back and give it a proper listen.I'm bummed that I missed out on the complete Basement Tapes box set when it was $80 on Amazon. Thought it would last at that price longer than it did, and now it seems it's gonna stay at $120 for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Not at all. I seriously doubt Dylan has contractual obligations at this point in his career. In the interview I linked to, he says he wishes he could just give his music away for free, so the act of Columbia selling his albums is probably the only obligation he has. I also finally gave Lost On The River a spin, and really liked it. Songs newly recorded using never recorded Dylan lyrics from 1967 during the Basement Tapes era. Written and performed by a supergroup consisting of Elvis Costello, Marcus Mumford, Taylor Goldsmith, Jim James, and Rhiannon Giddens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I used to be more of an active Dylan fan than I am today, so most of my takes on his discography are held over opinions from my late teens/early 20s. One album I still return to every now and again is the live album he released with The Band, Before the Flood Great record! bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,529 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Happy (belated) birthday to Bob! Never been a big fan, although I did own at least one album on cassette back in the day (I think it was HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED). And I've liked a great deal of his songs as performed by others - be it Manfred Mann's Earthband or Bruce Springsteen or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
