****Welcome to our listing, thanks very much for looking!
You've
never heard your favorite music sound this good! The clarity is
exceptional, you will hear deeper lows and crisper highs. Treat yourself
to a musical experience you've never had before! These 24KT+ Gold
CDs reproduce the ultimate sound of a classic recorded performance
without the irregular plated surfaces of standard aluminum discs.
Audio Fidelity's 24K+ series will bring you classic music in deluxe packaging with see-through slip cases (like DCC gold CDs did), using original graphics, all beautifully reproduced. They only use the original master mixes played back on a specially constructed vintage playback deck. Here's where the PLUS (+) comes in: The analog masters are put through their proprietary analog to digital converter which reinforces the resolution of the original masters adding true "breath of life" to the music. Without any further sonic manipulation the master is shipped directly to the manufacturing plant for etching in "real time" onto the glass surface by laser. The end result of this unique mastering process is a compact disc with the warm sound of the original analog master tape combined with a genuine 24 karat gold surface free of any type of physical defect making Audio Fidelity's 24KT+ Gold CD series truly one of a kind!
Arriving in 1967, Greatest Hits does an excellent job of summarizing Dylan's best-known songs from his first seven albums. At just ten songs, it's a little brief, and the song selection may be a little predictable, but that's actually not a bad thing, since this provides a nice sampler for the curious and casual listener, as it boasts standards from "Blowin' in the Wind" to "Like a Rolling Stone." And, for collectors, the brilliant non-LP single "Positively Fourth Street" was added, which provided reason enough for anybody that already owned the original records to pick this up. This has since been supplanted by more exhaustive collections, but as a sampler of Dylan at his absolute peak, this is first-rate. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine
