Many thanks to Martin Cowan for compiling his magnificent alternative 51 track 3CD compilation - ANOTHER DYLAN?
“I have been thinking about an alternative track selection. What the suits should have done, if they'd still wanted to release previously available material, was to select tracks reflecting the strength in depth of Dylan's back catalogue - after all, if someone wants "Blowin' in the wind" or "Like A Rolling Stone", they can go to one of the other compilations or the original albums.
“My alternative selection is as below. I don't think there are any artists who could release such a strong collection of songs, and ignore most of their most famous compositions. This is so mouth-watering, I might have to burn my own 3 CD set!”
