Columbia Records lets fans pick Dylan songs they already own for Dylan compilation

"Dylan," a 51-track collection covering his entire recorded output, will be released Oct. 1 by Columbia Records. The track list has yet to be determined, but  the A&R folks behind this swear they will read submissions posted on www.dylan07.com.  (Please, no voting for "Ugliest Girl in the World.") But why would anyone wax on about a song they don't already own? Seeing as how this will duplicate his three volumes of greatest hits, one has to wonder if the packaging and the inclusion of "One Too Many Mornings," "High Water (for Charley Patton)" or "If Dogs Run Free" will be enough to generate significant sales. Site does include a trailer that is pretty impressive.

Rumors are flying that this won't be the only fall release from the Dylan archives.

PS Dylan starts his summer tour Friday in Atlantic City, N.J.
