Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: Considered an unprecedented magnum opus when it arrived on two records in May of 1966 (1997's Time out of Mind is actually only about a minute shorter), Blonde on Blonde featured Dylan continuing to demonstrate remarkable powers over the course of 14 new numbers. Working in Nashville with session men and a few conscripted recruits (Al Kooper, Robbie Robertson), Dylan continued to bend minds with his warped lyrics and phrasing. Even dashed-off numbers such as "Obviously 5 Believers" and "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" contribute to the crazed, fun-house ambiance. Dylan will never be this wild again. --Steven Stolder Album Description: Sundazed is proud to present the first-ever reissue of the original mono mix of this landmark double album, recorded in Nashville with Al Kooper, Robbie Robertson, and a cadre of top session cats. The result, later described by Dylan as "that thin, wild mercury sound," is a unique masterwork that sounds as vital today as when first released in 1966. This Sundazed edition is presented on High-Definition Vinyl, from the absolute original analog mono masters. Album Description: 2002 reissue of 1966 album, packaged in a digipak. Sony. Album Details: Limited Millennium Edition. Packed in a Heavy Weight Card Wallet that Faithfully Recreates the Original Vinyl Sleeve, Right Down to the Inner Bag. The Wallet Will Come in a Plastic Cover. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Almost obnoxiously brilliantThe music and lyrics to this album have such a swaggering, defiant, playful brilliance that it might have even embarrassed Bob himself. Notice how he followed this up with the much quieter, humbler John Wesley Harding and Nashville Skyline? It's almost as if Dylan was saying, "Okay, I'll be a nice, sweet, down to earth boy from now on". People praise Dylan for his lyrics, but the music itself on this album is almost impossibly catchy with it's swinging, piercing, galloping sound.

I knew that this would be a taste I would have to acquire if you're not already a Bob Dylan fan and it has been (I had a similar experience with The Band's Music from Big Pink album). After listening to it in small doses getting used to Bob Dylan's singing style and lyrics, I hear more and more each time I listen to it. While much ...

Even though Dylan is not everyone's cup of tea, and can be really annoying at best, and morbid at worst (does he ever smile, I wonder? He was much more a poseur with his studied, cold aloofness, than Beatles ever were, even when they tried, with their genuine charm and warmth), however his great achievement is in ... Read More Rating:  - NOT A CD - BUT LP AS TITLE SUGGESTSJust a word of warning as I was confused by this myself, Amazon has this cataloged as a CD but this is a double LP - as the title suggests. IMHO, one of Dylan's best creative efforts in the mid '60s experimenting with rock. Rating: - The Greatest BlondeThis is one of the greatest albums ever made. The sound Dylan achieved in Nashville is perfect, sometimes bluesy, sometimes country, and always rock and roll. The lyrics are surely among the most enigmatic and emotionally-charged he has written. "Visions of Johanna" is arguably the best song on the album. Every line is filled with longing and loss, with love of a spiritual kind struggling with love of an earthly kind, with startling images presented with that haunting sound.
