Biograph (album)
# Biograph (album)

Biograph è una raccolta di Bob Dylan pubblicata il 7 novembre 1985. L'album ripercorre la carriera di Dylan dagli esordi nel 1961 all'album Shot of Love del 1981. È stata pubblicata dalla Columbia Records e rappresenta uno dei primi esempi di box set e fu un successo commerciale. Raggiunse il trentatreesimo posto nella classifica di Billboard, diventando disco di platino.

Le registrazioni di Biograph sono un mix di rarità e canzoni di successo e non sono raccolte in ordine cronologico. Delle cinquantatré tracce ventidue non erano mai state incluse in un album di Dylan, inclusa Lay Down Your Tune, che chiude il documentario di Martin Scorsese No Direction Home: Bob Dylan, e Can You Pleas Crawl Out Your Window?.

L'album è corredato da un libretto di quarantadue pagine contenente foto rare e note di Cameron Crowe.
