Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan

Tracy bought me the Original Mono Recordings box set of Dylan’s first 8 albums for Christmas. Hence one a week for the next eight weeks. No need to review them as such as they are part of 20th century music’s DNA. What does need pointing out though is that this is by far the cheapest way to hear them in their originally intended mono sound, way better than some of the terrible 60’s stereo mixes which found their way onto the 80’s/90’s CD issues. I have one of the eight on original US mono vinyl (cost about £25 and it took 3 copies to get one clean enough to be acceptable) and hence stand by for a nerdy comparison in a few weeks time.
