My Way 61 Revisited

To celebrate Bob Dylan's 61st birthday on 24 May 2002, I put together a compilation of 61 tracks called "My Way 61 Revisited".

I chose one bootleg version of a song from each of 61 officially released discs. For example "Blonde on Blonde" was originally released as 2 vinyl discs so I chose a song from each. Biograph was 5 vinyl discs originally (later released on 3 CDs). I included the Greatest Hits vols. I & II. I did not included Greatest Hits vol. III as there were 3 versions of it I think - one US and another for Australia plus one with some multimedia content.

Note: New 2003 version is now available with tracks "normalized" across each disc to even up volume levels.  Also better source recordings of tracks 17 (better source), 21 (better source), 39 (now taken from "True Speed For Carol") & 40 (better source).





The track list is as follows with links to artwork for each disc.  The information for each track is:

1. Track number

3. Original album
