Masterpieces
Compilation album by Bob Dylan
Released	March 1978
Genre	Rock Folk Country music
Label	Columbia Records

Masterpieces was released in Japan and Australia in anticipation for Bob Dylan's 1978 tour. It is more or less a greatest hits collection spanning his entire career up that point. However, the 3-LP set does include one side of material that was previously unreleased on any album, including Rita May and George Jackson. This item is no longer in print and is somewhat of a rarity.
