released by Bob Dylan
on Columbia Records
, original catalogue number KCS 9643. It contains every Top 40 single
Dylan enjoyed through 1967. It peaked at #10 on the pop album chart
in the United States
, and went to #3 on the album chart in the United Kingdom
. Certified five times platinum in the United States
, it is one of his very best-selling albums.
double-LP of May 1966
and his famed motorcycle accident of that summer. With no activity by Dylan since the end of his recent world tour, and no new recordings on the immediate horizon (the Basement Tapes sessions were still months away if the accepted chronologies are correct), Columbia needed new product to continue to capitalize on Dylan's commercial appeal. Hence the appearance of this package, the label's first Dylan compilation, and its first LP release with a $5.98 list price, one dollar more than that of standard releases.
This album also serves as Dylan's de facto singles collection for the 1960s, as all but three of the tracks present, "The Times They Are a-Changin'
," "It Ain't Me Babe
," and "Mr. Tambourine Man
" had been issued at 45 rpm in the United States during the decade, although "Times" made it to #9 as a single release in the UK
. A truncated rock and roll version of "Mr. Tambourine Man" had been a number one hit for The Byrds
in the summer of 1965, the Turtles
took a folk-rock version of "It Ain't Me Babe" to #8 the same year, and Peter, Paul and Mary
enjoyed a huge hit with their #2 single of "Blowin' in the Wind
" in 1963. The remaining six tracks all made the Billboard Top 40 in 1965 and 1966. Probably the most astounding thing of all concerning this collection is that it documents a time in America when the kind of lyric complexity and philosophic bent on "Like a Rolling Stone
," "Positively Fourth Street," and "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" could actually become a top ten pop chart hit. "Positively 4th Street" was the only single of the collection not either later released on or taken off of a long-playing album, having been recorded during sessions for Highway 61 Revisited
.
When this album was remastered for its 1997 issue on compact disc
30 years later, a slightly longer alternate mix of "Positively 4th Street" was substituted for the original single version. In 2003, this album was released along with Dylan's two other greatest hits compilations in one four-disc boxed set, as Greatest Hits Volumes I-III.
at Dylan's November 28, 1965, concert in Washington, D.C. The cover won the 1967 Grammy award for "Best Album Cover, Photography." The original album package also included Milton Glaser's
now-familiar "psychedelic" poster depicting Dylan. A similar image taken at the Concert for Bangladesh in 1971 was selected for Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II
, a compilation Dylan had much more control over. John Berg, Senior Art Director at Columbia Records, recognized that a backlit image such as Scherman's would work because of Dylan's unique sartorial style. It was his design, as well as Scherman's photo, that won the Grammy.
" and "I Want You
" were omitted, but "She Belongs to Me
", "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
" and "One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later)
" were added. In the UK, this album was followed up by Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits 2, which repeated the Blonde on Blonde
songs from Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits and also added "I Want You", "Absolutely Sweet Marie
", "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
", "Gates of Eden
", "Chimes of Freedom
" and several others. This album was different from the album called Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II
in the US, which was released in 1971 and called More Bob Dylan Greatest Hits in the UK.
