"As most music fans I go through phases of what I listen to and when. I purchased this set several months ago and have not had a week go buy that I didn't throw it in the cd player once or twice. The words and the feel of Bob's best and the fresh taste of some of his music that you don't hear a lot of. Tracks such as the Live version of Visions of Johanna and Percy's Song are a must hear. It's All Over Now Baby Blue is a somber additioin to this set. Bob Dylan's Best Of... albums are great but if you have to purchase just one Dylan set this is the one."

"Bob Dylan is stil the person who speaks to generations of music fans. This set gathers some of his best material ever. It goes back to the 60's for great anthems like "Blowin In The Wind', "The Times They Are A Changin", "Like A Rolling Stone" and many others. It also pulls out the best of his 70's material, especially "Tangled Up In Blue." If you're looking for a retrospective on Dylan, this is a good place to start. It also has a nice booklet and information on the recording and writing process of each song. A well put together set that will leave you thirsting for more."

"This set does not only give you a nostalgic backflip, but it traces and reflects a history of the social movement in the United states which affected and positively influenced all of us in the rest of the world.This is ground breaking stuff. It also reinforces folk music as the base for all the other genres of music which was to come later on. You hear folk music transforming itself to another level , distinctively original and casting its spell on other musical styles which we take for granted these days. This is perhaps the best Dylan retro I have heard; a biograph of Dylan the poet ,the social commentator , the lyricist and the whole is far greater than the individual items , all great in their individual right."
