Title: Only the Beginning
Review: BOB DYLAN'S GREATEST HITS released in 1967 captures Bob Dylan's transformation from a guitar strumming folk song composer to a rock legend spanning the time period of his first seven albums. While the material here provides only a tasteful sample of his work, the listener is treated to that which showed his power as a songwriter then his unique voice as one of the greatest "classic rock" performers of all time."Blowin' in the Wind" had become an anthem of the folk movement -- a stirring theme for civil rights and peace rallies across the land having been the song that propelled Peter, Paul and Mary as the troubadours of social consciousness. The trio would frequently mine Dylan's songbook for material. By the time this recording was issued, even an emerging Stevie Wonder recorded his own stirring cover of the song."The Times They Are a Changin'" is another protest anthem, another landmark protest song. Addressing world conditions and the generational conflict, Dylan's songwriting influence had become immense.To the shock of his base but to the delight of a larger listening audience anxious for fresh sounds particularly as the Beatles took over the airwaves, Bob Dylan's transformation to rock superstar after shocking audiences showing up for the old folk tradition with electric guitars, bass, and drums.At first, Bob Dylan's importance would be spread via other artists while his new sound was evolving from a hint to an explosion over the span of three albums from ANOTHER SIDE OF BOB DYLAN through BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME and finally in full bloom on HIGHWAY 61."It Ain't Me Babe" became both a country and pop hit for Johnny Cash whose association with Dylan would serve to broaden both artists appeal to broader audiences.In 1965 as the Beatles reigned, a new west coast band with members borne of the folk scene influenced by the Beatles particularly their vocal harmonies and George Harrison's 12 string lead guitar on HARD DAY'S NIGHT exploded on the pop scene with a new kind of Bob Dylan song inventing a new sub-genre of music they and Bob Dylan would lead. The band was the Byrds, the song, "Mr. Tambourine Man," with its trippy proto-psychedelic lyrics. The song vaulted to the top of the charts during a time span when the Beatles ruled with "Help" and the Rolling Stones staked their turf with "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction." Bob Dylan was blazing new territory of his own finally breaking through on Top 40 radio breaking one of its most sacred rules issuing a song far in excess of the usual three minute pop single. "Like A Rolling Stone" established Bob Dylan as a hugely popular performer in his own right setting the stage for many new exciting artists soon to emerge from the folk-rock sound -- joining the Byrds, Simon and Garfunkel and the Buffalo Springfield helped redefine pop music as the Beatles themselves absorbed Dylan's influence consciously showing his influence on songs like "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" and then releasing an entire album of blended acoustic and electric guitar folk influenced songs, RUBBER SOUL.BOB DYLAN'S GREATEST HITS ends with material from Dylan's 1966 double album BLONDE ON BLONDE and a single perfectly in step with the sound of HIGHWAY 61 and the double album masterpiece, "Positively 4th Street." BLONDE ON BLONDE created tremors of its own openly embracing the drug culture with the raucous "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" with its catch phrase, "Everybody must get stoned." Also present were songs that helped define Dylan's rock star posture while paving the way for a fresh approach to pop song writing going far beyond innocent love songs with "I Want You" and "Just Like a Woman."In hindsight, despite spanning seven albums, BOB DYLAN'S GREATEST HITS provides little more than a snapshot of a most prolific career but that snapshot is of one of the true titans of 20th century music with the material that made him famous. Obviously, listeners who enjoy Bob Dylan will certainly want to pursue the individual albums themselves and there are more comprehensive anthologies available. Nevertheless, here's a recording that provides a concise answer on what made Bob Dylan so important.

Title: 2012 Gold CD review: worth it for the sound
Review: I am a huge Dylan fan but this collection has never been a personal favourite; while each and every song here is a classic, I generally prefer to hear them in context on the albums from which they come.I still placed this CD on pre-order though, having heard what mastering engineer Steve Hoffman did with Highway 61 Revisited on DCC; he sought out the best master tape which was famously labelled "Do not use" and made a fantastic-sounding CD.Since then we have had the SACDs and various remasters and remixes from Sony, so do we need another remaster of these songs?In a description of the mastering work on his own form, Hoffman describes his approach. He avoided remixes and says:"We used all the tapes from that era, which means NO bass cut EQ'd cutting dubs, NO extra compression and NO lower treble screech that has been built into most every version of this album ever issued. We resisted the temptation to give every song a similar sonic signature, choosing instead to respect the tonality of each individual mix, not wishing to disturb the "energy" of the sound of each. Nothing sounds like anything else on the disk. This is intentional, a nod to the pioneering efforts of the original producers, engineers and artists."We bypassed all GREATEST HITS dub reels and went back to the earliest surviving individual stereo mix reels for each original album the songs came from."In other words, a lot of effort went into finding the best sources.Judging by the sound, the effort paid of. The bass is rich, the vocals lifelike, the instrumental separation is as good as I have heard on these tracks. There is no harshness (unless you think that Dylan's harmonica *always* sounds harsh).That said, you need to be realistic. The Sony remasters (and sometimes remixes) done for the SACDs are generally not bad at all. On the Blonde on Blonde tracks, remixed for SACD, I found the gold CD richer but the SACD perhaps cleaner. On Subterranean Homesick Blues I found it hard to choose, the SACD wins on clarity, the gold CD sounds fuller and more natural.Like a Rolling Stone sounds great on the gold CD, from the opening crack of the drums to the swirling organ and snarling vocal.You do need to love Dylan and have a decent system to appreciate the differences. I guess since this is a gold CD at a premium price that few others would consider it anyway.If you *are* in the market for an excellent-sounding Dylan remaster that transports you straight back to the Sixties (but with better sound than was enjoyed back then) you will not be disappointed.Note: the initial release was limited to 5000 numbered copies; however the label has announced that they will be making more though the later issues will not be numbered.
