Here it is, ladies and 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.
