While this certainly very inexpensive 5-CD box does not contain the entire 80-Bob Dylan's work, but the foundation, you need. With "Shot of Love" the last album of evangelical trilogy is represented - gewöhnungsbedürftigt for many fans, but first, a part of the complete works, secondly, in many places think better than one, and thirdly, together with the most beautiful Dylan song ever: "Every Grain of sand "; who knows the song, know what I'm talking / writing. Second CD of the box is the 83er rock comeback "Infidels" with an incredibly powerful singer Dylan, a very präsentent Mark Knopfler in the best mood to play and eight really strong songs, including the anthemic "Jokerman", the wily "Sweetheart Like You" and the multi-layered "I and I". Then clung to this Pubilkation the '84 Live discs "Real Live" on showing the for his unpredictable live performances, which may cause either a dream or rather wrong-headed, very close to coming out of a the expectable public taste side: straight-rocking versions of songs like "Highway 61" or "Masters of War" settle for recited in the old folk bard-style songs like "It Is not Me Babe" or "Tangled Up in Blue" the jack in the hand; the Maestro bears relish before - you would have liked a double CD. Anders then the fourth plate: "Dylan and the Dead", also live, but a few years later, Dylan shows together with the Grateful Dead as less sovereign artist. A strange song selection (Who wants to hear the 10-minute dirge "Joey"?), A singer who not text comes sure a little old hippie inspired troupe as a companion volume, hmm. No Matter. But Dylan is attached splendid return to his artistic sovereignty as last CD: the great "Oh Mercy", the lives of well-painfully beautiful compositions of the master as the darkly powerful production style Daniel Lanois'. A class-disc, which can be seen as an introduction to Dylan famoses until today persistent late work. You get with this box so a lot on offer; who had so far as I studiously ignored the 80s in Dylan's oeuvre, can truly discover some gems here, although certainly only "Oh Mercy" and with minor degradation "Infidels" are absolute master-class. Omitted from the 80-work are indeed überahupt with "Saved" (1980) and "Empire Burlesque" (1985), two of the most vulnerable Dylan albums, but I do not quite understand what selection criteria were there; Who wants to collect the complete works, must then buy more just individually. Nevertheless, the set on the whole is highly recommended for Dylan collectors, where the 80 are still missing.
