Love Sick

This is a great set, with some unique & powerful performances. Bob pours himself into the rarely heard Born In Time, and a faithful rendition of Love Sick, but the highlight is a duet with Van the man on Knockin' On Heaven's Door. A great looking glossy slip case with nice photos, and sharp, clean aesthetics. The title is taken from a line in Desolation Row that Bob puts a little extra emphasis on. Although Bette's last name has been spelled by some as it is in the title, it is incorrect. The filler is from 3 days later in London. It's just as clean, and offers some songs not performed in Birmingham.

This CD single was given away with purchases of "Love And Theft" and other selected Dylan titles by HMV UK, May 2002. Thanks to Andreas Volkert for the information this CD was also available at the FNAC record shop in Brussels free with the European The Essential Bob Dylan, and therefore probably at all the FNAC stores in France/Belgium. I'm also told this item was given away with the regular release of "Love And Theft" in South Africa. The CD was made in Austria.
