Binding: Audio CD EAN: 0886973474723 Label: Sony Manufacturer: Sony MPN: 734747 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Sony Release Date: November 04, 2008 Studio: Sony Rating:  - GREAT Dylan !!!Bob has done it yet again, I can't wait for more, however this will hold you until then Rating: - A Glimpse Into The Mind of Bob DylanThere are three editions of Tell Tale Signs. This is the single disc edition, which contains the same tracks as the first disc of both the two and three disc versions. What you choose to purchase depends on how deep you want to go into the vault. This single disc edition more than satisfies. Every song on this disc shares something with songs that have appeared on previous CDs - mostly from Oh Mercy and Time Out Of Mind. Yet, they sound like entirely different songs. What you have here are working versions of songs, but they sound so complete that could have been released "as is." They might share a title, a few verses, or a chorus, but this sounds like I'm hearing a brand new Bob Dylan CD. Most Of The Time is essentially the same song, but Bob's phrasing is different, and he accompanies himself on piano. It's gorgeous and sounds like a completely different song. The CD ends with proof that Bob isn't finished with a song once it's committed to CD. A live version of High Water (for Charley Patton), a song that first appeared on "Love and Theft," has a new arrangement and different vocal phrasing. Bob's creative process is ongoing, and his art is never completely finished until he's performed a song for the last time. Bob still has a lot more to show us. May he continue until his last breath. Rating: - Infinitely betterThe tracks in this collection are definitely better than the original published versions. I guess this is just possible because of Bob Dylan. Rating:  - Don't Buy This Album!If the listing for this item is correct, then I would highly recommend not buying it. The listing shows one disc from the Bootleg Series Vol. 8. It was already unclear how many discs belong to that volume because of the fact that the "regular" release had 2 discs and the "Special Edition" had 3 discs but cost $100 more!! This appears to be disc 1 from either of the other two sets. Why pay $12 for this when $17 gets you 2 discs. I rated this 4 stars because the music is absolutely that good. In fact, the only reason I did not put 5 stars was because of the odd configuration. By all means get some version of this, if only to hear Red River Shore. Rating: - Buy it nowAfter first listen I couldn't have been more pleased. Bands would kill just to have his bootleg career. I believe this stands on its own merit right up with the best regular studio release albums. Red River Shore, High Water, no, I'm not gonna try to list high points, the album is one big high point. I honestly was hesitant to purchase in rough economical times but if you can swing it, buy it.
