This is NOT intended to be a complete discography by any means. Check
the discography file at ftp.cs.pdx.edu for more details on Bob Dylan
releases available on compact disc, or refer to the discography on the
official Bob Dylan website http://www.bobdylan.com.
[see question 5 for help].
Notes:
' Live album
# 'Greatest Hits' collection - *most* songs previously released
^ Recorded in 1970, outtakes from Self-Portrait
* Recorded in 1967!
~ This is the Japanese release date - U.S. release was December 1978
@ Collection of previously unreleased material spanning 1961-1991...
Also of interest are the 30th Anniversary Tribute Concert double-CD
set; "Masterpieces", a triple-CD import collection that contains a few
songs not available elsewhere on CD; and "Live 1961-2000 - Thirty-nine
years of great concert performances" - a Japan-only limited edition
release to coincide with Dylan's 2001 tour.
To buy CDs over the Internet, the two most popular sites are
CDnow.com and Amazon.com. For shops on the Internet selling import
CDs, you might try http://www.punkhart.com/dylan/cds.html.
There have been several 'best album' polls done on the music
newsgroups - the most comprehensive were the 'Usenet Artist Polls'
and are available by anonymous FTP from ftp.uwp.edu in /pub/music/uap
(many polls done on individual artists, not just Dylan).
The Dylan albums most frequently recommended by readers of r.m.d are
"Highway 61 Revisited", "Blonde on Blonde", "Blood on the Tracks",
and "The Bootleg Series, Vols. 1-3", although you'll find staunch
fans of nearly every album...
The Dylan you might like depends more on you than on the opinions of
others. You could describe in reasonable detail your musical,
political, religious and sexual tastes, post that on rec.music.dylan,
and ask for advice...
Additional material may be found at the various WWW and FTP archives.
