Untitled[edit]

The article writes: "A few lyrical revisions were made on "You Ain't Going Nowhere," the most notable being a reference to Roger McGuinn. Told to "pick up your tent, you ain't going nowhere," McGuinn's band, The Byrds, had successfully recorded "You Ain't Going Nowhere" on their landmark album, Sweetheart of the Rodeo, and they even issued their recording as a single. The motivation for this reference has never been made clear."

The motivation for the jibe is, in fact, crystal clear: the Byrds version (sung by McGuinn) screwed up the lyrics. The Byrds version says "Pack up your money, pick up your tent" where Dylan had written "Pick up your money, pack up your tent." A history of the "dispute" can be found at http://ebni.com/byrds/lpsotr.html

Is this about the album or Dylan's activities in 1971[edit]

There seems to be a lot of discussion about what was recorded in 1971 beyond the album. Is this appropriate? --John (User:Jwy/talk) 07:49, 24 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. II/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Article requirements:

Y A relatively complete infobox
Y Cover art in the infobox
Y A lead section giving an overview of the album
Y At least one section of informative prose other than lead
Y A track listing (for "start" class), containing track lengths & composers (for "B" class)

A list of personnel (specific band members (for "start" class), guest musicians and technical (for "B" class)

Y Categorisation at least by artist and year

While this is a very good article, its lack of a personnel listing makes it technically a stub by WP:ALBUM guidelines. Please feel free to request a reassessment if that absence is addressed. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 19:21, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
