BOB DYLAN - BLONDE ON BLONDE

Early U.K. Thick Vinyl Press 2LP- CBS RECORDS - CBS 22130

NEAR MINT U.K. PRESSING (STEREO - Original Mix)

 

THIS IS A NEAR MINT, ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC, EARLY U.K. PRESSING of Bob Dylan's BLONDE ON BLONDE (CBS 22130), Dylan's highly regarded double album and the monumental culmination of his foray into electric blues. (Dylan himself notably said "The closest I ever got to the sound I hear in my mind was on individual bands in the Blonde on Blonde album...," famously describing the sound as "that thin, that wild mercury sound. It's metallic and bright gold, with whatever that conjures up. That's my particular sound.").

·       Thick vinyl U.K. pressing

CLEAN, WEAR-FREE LABELS


(?PLEASE SEE THE IMAGE OF THE COVER, LABEL OR BOTH, SHOWN IN PICS)(Note: this is a REAL image of the ACTUAL item you are bidding on. This is NOT a "recycled" image from our previous auction. What you see is what you’ll get.  GUARANTEED!)
 

CONDITION:

VINYL:
~ VINYL IS NEAR MINT. ~Vinyl is like new, clean and glossy - no visible scratching or scuffing - appears as if unplayed. The original luster is very much intact, and the vinyl shines and sparkles almost like new. Vinyl sound rich and plays beautifully.

~ The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, usually used for the first and/or early pressings. The sound on such thick vinyl pressings tends to be full-bodied, vivid, and "live" sounding. You cannot acheive this superb analog sound with any digital recording!
~ The record comes with the original stock inner sleeve.
~ This is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!

*(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually; records are graded under the strong, diffuse room light and/or discrete sunlight) 

COVER:
~ JACKET/COVER IS VG+. ~ Cover looks beautiful, retaining its original finish, color and details - Jacket would be Near Mint if not for a little minor, but visible wear (i.e. some minor, non-excessive corner wear, mild edge and very minor ring wear). Cover is fully intact - No cut-out (drill) holes. No cut-out corners, No saw-marks or indents, No dirt/dust rubbing stains (friction marks caused by rubbing against other covers), No stamps, No tearing, No peel-off marks, No mold or mildew spots, No stickers or labels, No water damage, No razor marks, scratches, pressure marks, lines, streaks, or  cuts, No wax, glue, paint or liquid drops on the cover, No glue traces or wax residue. No bar codes. No RIAA stamps or stickers.

If Highway 61 Revisited played as a garage rock record, the double album Blonde on Blonde inverted that sound, blending blues, country, rock, and folk into a wild, careening, and dense sound. Replacing the fiery Michael Bloomfield with the intense, weaving guitar of Robbie Robertson, Bob Dylan led a group comprised of his touring band the Hawks and session musicians through his richest set of songs. Blonde on Blonde is an album of enormous depth, providing endless lyrical and musical revelations on each play. Leavening the edginess of Highway 61 with a sense of the absurd, Blonde on Blonde is comprised entirely of songs driven by inventive, surreal, and witty wordplay, not only on the rockers but also on winding, moving ballads like "Visions of Johanna," "Just Like a Woman," and "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands." Throughout the record, the music matches the inventiveness of the songs, filled with cutting guitar riffs, liquid organ riffs, crisp pianos, and even woozy brass bands ("Rainy Day Women #12 & 35"). It's the culmination of Dylan's electric rock & roll period -- he would never release a studio record that rocked this hard, or had such bizarre imagery, ever again.
