* Thanks to Bernard McGuinn:

“You know what would be a worthwhile Sony release? For them to take all the individual tracks that have appeared on the numerous greatest/essential compilations that they've put out over the yrs, and to select a noteworthy, previously unreleased, live performance of that song.

“And, preferably, I'd like the selection to come from the last 20 years. Now that would be something worth spending time and money on.

“Failing that, let's have the non-Dylan album tracks that are scattered across various tribute and soundtrack albums pulled together in one place:

Tell Ole Bill
Huck's Tune
Friend of The Devil
Mutineer,
Blue eyed Jane
This old man
Return to me
Waiting for you
Cross the green mountain and, finally,
I'm not There, the incomparable Basement song.

If so, simply send The Dylan Daily a list of the 10 Dylan songs (ranked 1 to 10) – you’d most like to see included on DYLAN, the new 3CD compilation, due 1 October. Please send to: songs@dylandaily.com

Your list will be posted on The Dylan Daily web site, and then aggregated with the other lists to produce a composite fans’ choice list of 51 tracks, which will be widely publicised and sent to Sony.

Your name will be entered in a prize draw and the lucky winner will be asked for his/her postal address and receive a free copy of the Rough Guide, kindly provided by the publishers at launch last year.

The competition closes at 2301 GMT on Thursday 19 July. So please send your Top 10 Dylan songs list now, before you forget!

If you already have a copy of the Rough Guide, please send your Top 10 list anyway – the more contributions, the more authoritative will be the eventual list of top Dylan songs – the 51 track compilation the fans would like to see!
