Bob Dylan


1-22-08 Bob Dylan

I do not have an extensive Bob Dylan collection, but I am very fond of his works from roughly ’65 – ’69. Recently, I have ‘discovered’ his work with The Band, and like it a lot.

BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME CBS UK 62515 LP 1965

11 TRKS Subterranean Homesick Blues

SUBTERRANEAN HOMESICK BLUES CBS EU CDCBS 62515 CD 1965

11 TRKS Bringing It All Back Home; either way – a totally great album.

HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED CBS/SONY JPN 30DP-305 CD 1966

9 TRKS one of the world’s fist CD issues of this title.

HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED COLUMBIA US CS 9189 LP 1966

9 TRKS original U.S. LP, Al Kooper + Mike Bloomfield!

BLONDE ON BLONDE COLUMBIA US CGK 841 CD 1966

10 TRKS Hmmm…”Country Bob”!

SELF PORTRAIT COLUMBIA US CGK 30050 CD 1970?

24 TRKS

DYLAN COLUMBIA US PC 32747 LP 1973

9 TRKS Looks like I skipped a title or two…and I certainly never played this LP.

PLANET WAVES ISLAND UK ILPS 9261 LP 1974

11 TRKS UK original UK issue on Island – on my “Must Hear!” list.

BASEMENT TAPES, THE (with The Band) COLUMBIA US C2 33682 LPx2

1975 24 TRKS ('67 recording) I had this for over 30 years before playing it! Love it!

BIOGRAPH (5LP boxed set) CBS NL CBS 66509 LPx5 1985

53 TRK Collection, boxed set; some really nice stuff here – “Can You Please Crawl Out Your Window” etc. I will likely get a CD set of this eventually.

LIVE 1966 (Bootleg Series No. 4) COLUMBIA US C2K 65759 CDx2 1998

15 TRKS Live 5/66 – an absolutely amazing recording, “Judas!”. “I don’t believe you, you’re a liar!”.

So, all hail Bob! Long may his flag wave!
