Under ca ett års tid 1965-66, släppte Bob Dylan tre av historiens bästa album. Är man i form då? Efter "Bringing it all back home" och "Highway 61 revisited" kom "Blonde on blonde". På ett år! Bob Dylan var fylld av energi och experimentlusta. "Blonde on blonde" innehåller en bländande blandning av garage, blues, country, rock och folk. Robbie Robertson och de andra grabbarna från The Band är med och spelar, och Dylan har magnifika ordlekar på detta enormt djupa album som var kulmen på hans elektriska rock'n'roll period. Han skulle aldrig mer släppa ett studioalbum som rockade så här hårt, eller som var lika sinnesvidgande.

Dylan Bob / The Band: Before the flood -74 (Rem) [2 CD]

Bob Dylan's self-titled 1962 debut is as understated of an entrance as any significant musician as ever made. Well-versed in American roots music, Dylan simultaneously pays homage to tradition and extends it by putting his own stamp on classic material that metaphorically functions as the soil of contemporary songs and styles. Nodding to Woody Guthrie and re-imagining Blind Lemon Jefferson's "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean," Dylan straddles the past and future. He authoritatively displays the ability to handle weighty topics such as death, sorrow, and lamentation with the vaudeville flair, bluesy mannerisms, and poignant command of an artist three times his then-20-year-old age. <br/><br/>Sourced from the original master tapes, housed in a Stoughton jacket, and pressed on MoFi SuperVinyl at Fidelity Record Pressing, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition 180g 33RPM SuperVinyl mono LP brings the contents of this seminal release as close as they've ever come to live-in-the-studio quality. Transparent to the source, Dylan's voice, acoustic guitar, and harmonica come across with exceptional realism - the "husk and bark" to which Robert Shelton referred in his legendary New York Times review of a Dylan appearance at Gerde's Folk City - courtesy of the format's nearly non-existent noise floor, groove definition, and quiet surfaces. Dylan's vocals are in the heart of the musical action and as one with the accompaniment. This reissue paints an incredibly accurate portrait of the concrete mass of sound that features no artificial panning and offers a straight-ahead immersion into the music. Mono is how almost everyone first heard Dylan's opening salvo. A career like none other starts here.
