gentlemen: THE STILL SEALED ORIGINAL PRESSING of
the King of all singer-songwriters albums, Bob Dylan's very finest hour and one
of two or three most important, creative, subversive, ingenuous, inspired and
mind-intriguing albums ever - EVER - recorded. Just listening to the bouncing,
cascading rhymes of Bob Dylan's surreal poetry sung over jazzy, bluesy, folksy
and rocking instrumental backing (provided courtesy of Al Kooper, Mike
Bloomfield, Robbie Robertson, The Band and some of the finest studio musicians
of the day) makes our heart skip a few beats. Track listing?!?! Aw, c’mon…do you really need one? Finding a still sealed original copy?!?! Forget it – not even
a HOPE!!! This may be the last one you will ever see. *** 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. Â (EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY STEPHEN THOMAS ERLEWINE, ALL
MUSIC GUIDEÂ /ALLMUSIC.COM/) For its extraordinary
contribution to the modern music, superb production, craftsmanship, fine
musicianship, revolutionary significance and influence it exerted on numerous
generations of musicians, writers and general public, or for some other innate
quality, this album was voted one of top-200 albums of all time in one of the
largest poll of critics, music reviewers, professionals and producers ever
organized: the poll, which was conducted by Paul Gambaccini, legendary BBC
Radio A&R man, surveyed more than 50 top music professionals (including Roy
Carr, Jonathan Cott, Robert Christgau, Cameron Crowe, Chet Flippo, Ben
Fong-Torres, Charlie Gillett, Greil Marcus, Murray the K., Lenny Kaye, Bruce
Morrow (a/k/a "Cousin Brucie"), Tim Rice (of "Jesus Christ
Superstar" and "Evita" fame), Lisa Robinson, Robert Shelton (who
wrote liner notes for Bob Dylan's first album), Ed Ward, Joel Whitburn, Pete
Wingfield, etc.). For more details, see: "Critics Choice: Top-200
