Bob Dylan / The Very Best Of

Sony are to issue a new Bob Dylan greatest hits compilation on 4 November 2013.

The Very Best Of Bob Dylan joins a long list of Bob collections including The Best Of Bob Dylan (1997), The Best Of Bob Dylan Volume 2 (2000), The Essential Bob Dylan (2000), The Best Of Bob Dylan (2005), Dylan (2007) and The Real Bob Dylan (2012).

It’s hard to imagine why the world needs another collection of Mr Zimmerman’s songs, but 2013 is another year, and so another greatest hits is apparently required. It will be TV advertised in the hope that this set ends up in the Christmas stockings of casual Dylan fans.

A two-CD deluxe edition is available, in addition to the standard one disc configuration. At the time of writing Amazon UK are selling the deluxe at a lower price than the single disc version – so you save money if you ‘go large’. Track listings below.
