A great and essential set!

Bob Dylan is stil the person who speaks to generations of music fans. This set gathers some of his best material ever. It goes back to the 60's for great anthems like "Blowin In The Wind', "The Times They Are A Changin", "Like A Rolling Stone" and many others. It also pulls out the best of his 70's material, especially "Tangled Up In Blue." If you're looking for a retrospective on Dylan, this is a good place to start. It also has a nice booklet and information on the recording and writing process of each song. A well put together set that will leave you thirsting for more.

greatest collection ever

biograph is simply the best collection of work ever brought together! the versions of yoru a big girl now, abandoned love(only version i know), and its all over now baby blue are fantastic. i am a huge dylan fan, seen him twice in concert(im 16 years old so thats pretty good) and this is a necesary item to have in your cd case! do not have any doubt, this is forth it 4 tiems over!

Times they are not a-changin'

This set does not only give you a nostalgic backflip, but it traces and reflects a history of the social movement in the United states which affected and positively influenced all of us in the rest of the world.This is ground breaking stuff. It also reinforces folk music as the base for all the other genres of music which was to come later on. You hear folk music transforming itself to another level , distinctively original and casting its spell on other musical styles which we take for granted these days. This is perhaps the best Dylan retro I have heard; a biograph of Dylan the poet ,the social commentator , the lyricist and the whole is far greater than the individual items , all great in their individual right.
