Dylan, the new 3CD release – “eagerly awaited”

Thanks to Martin Spence:

“You wrote – ‘the new 3CD album, Dylan, aimed at new fans, and with no new content - it will be a non-event for most Dylan Daily readers’.

“As a fairly new fan not yet familiar with many of the Dylan albums, I’ve been wondering which compilation to buy. The new album answers my prayers - and I know other regular visitors to The Dylan Daily who are in the same position. It’s something we’ve been eagerly awaiting - well done, Sony!”
