I hate greatest hits albums!

But saying that, i have all of Dylan's actual albums so i didn't need to buy this but due to the wonder that Christmas is i was bought it by a relative.

I must say it would be a great way for a new fan to Dylan to get into his work. Unfortunately it doesn't really do the great man any justice, as it only focuses on his early period but still a great selection at that.

If you've got a lot of Dylan - don't buy. No point whatsoever.

If you're new to Dylan and want to start listening to the great man, then this is a good album to get into his early stuff.

This is not a comprehensive guide of Dylan's music so be careful not to treat it like that.
