Biograph is absolutely GREAT!!! I still remember the thrill of buying it when it first came out. It's a wonderful mix of stuff from across the Dylan catalog, including old and new, and some really hard-to-get stuff too.

$20 Canadian??? Hell, it's worth $50 Canadian at least!

BUY IT!!!!!!!!!

khandu - I like Self-Portrait. There are some very neat cuts on it. "Days of '49" is a classic. So is "In Search of Little Sadie" (the long version). Bob's rendition of "Early Morning Rain" is very cool, one of my favourites of that song ever.

There are also some wretchedly bad cuts...like the Isle of Wight live performances...but on the whole it's a pretty interesting album.

Again, I thoroughly enjoyed it when it came out, and I still enjoy it.

Dylan is so classic that I like him even when he's having a seriously off day, anyway...

p.s. Spaw, I think I can get you a copy of Biograph in the box if you want one...but it will be more than $20 Canadian, I'm afraid...
