The Collection: Another Side Of Bob Dylan/Bringing It All Back Home CD

A music fan can hardly go wrong with this box. The Collection series from Sony Legacy usually packages three significant albums by an artist in a slipcase for a budget price. Seldom, though, are they in chronological order. TheBob Dylan volume in this series proves to be an anomaly in that three classic recordings are packaged together in their proper release order: 1964's Another Side of Bob Dylan, his final completely acoustic recording, 1965's Bringing It All Back Home, which included one electric and one acoustic side, and 1966's Highway 61 Revisited, which was his first all-electric recording. All three albums have five star ratings from AMG, making this a terrific way to begin collecting Dylan or introducing his work to someone else. ~ Thom Jurek
