Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Volume II

Description

24 Bit Digitally Remastered. Double CD – Bob Dylan’s Greatest Hits Vol. II,
also known as More Bob Dylan Greatest Hits, is the second compilation album by
American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on November 17, 1971 by
Columbia Records. With Dylan not expected to release any new material for an
extended period of time, CBS Records president Clive Davis proposed issuing a
double LP compilation of older material. Dylan agreed, compiling it himself
and suggesting that the package include a full side of unreleased tracks from
his archives. After submitting a set of excerpts from the The Basement Tapes
that Davis found unsatisfactory, Dylan returned to the studio in September
1971 to recut several Basement songs, with Happy Traum providing backup. The
final package included one previously uncollected single, “Watching the River
Flow”, an outtake from the same sessions, “When I Paint My Masterpiece”; one
song from Dylan’s April 12, 1963 Town Hall concert, “Tomorrow Is a Long Time”,
and three songs from the September sessions, “I Shall Be Released”, “You Ain’t
Goin’ Nowhere”, and “Down in the Flood”. The remaining tracks were drawn from
existing releases. As with the Beatles’ 1962-1966 and The Basement Tapes, all
the selections could fit on a single 80-minute CD, but were nevertheless
released on two CDs to match the LP.
