Would you like to win a free copy of Nigel Williamson’s excellent Rough Guide to Bob Dylan (2nd ed, 2006)?

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!
