Bob Dylan: The Essential Bob Dylan

Another Dylan "greatest hits" collection, released in October 2000, containing 30 digitally remastered songs on 2 discs. Of interest to Band fans, this set includes a "basement tape" version of "Quinn The Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)" recorded with The Band in July 1967 (previously included in the Biograph box set). Also included is "Forever Young" (slow version) from Planet Waves recorded with The Band. Sony has apparently remastered Dylan's entire Columbia recordings catalog recently and songs included in this set reflect improved clarity and detail in sound.
