Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde
Rezension
2022 wird das Schallplattendebüt von Bob Dylan fast schon rekordverdächtige 60 Jahre alt: am 19. März 1962 erschien das selbstbetitelte erste Album Dylans, mit ganzen 420 Dollar Produktionskosten im Rücken, bei Columbia Records in New York. Jetzt werden aus diesem Anlass die drei zweifellos wichtigsten Sechzigerjahre-Alben Dylans auf Vinyl wiederveröffentlicht: das musikalische Triptychon "Bringing It All Back Home" (1965), "Highway 61 Revisited" (1965) und das erste Doppelalbum der Rockgeschich
te, "Blonde On Blonde" (1966). Natürlich im neuesten Remastering, mit den zeitgenössischen roten Stereo-Labels, den berühmten "Stereo 360 Sound"-Logos und erstmals überhaupt mit Replicas der Original-Werbeaufkleber (im Sammlerjargon "hype sticker") auf den Covern. In schwarzem Vinyl, so wie es sein soll.
Review
Blonde on Blonde (released May 1966)—Includes ""Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35,"" ""Visions of Johanna,"" ""Just Like a Woman,"" ""I Want You."" This landmark double LP was the first Bob Dylan album recorded in Nashville. Produced by Bob Johnston. Includes a 5.1 surround mix.
""Bob Dylan Revisited"" represents an across-the-board quantum leap in richness, warmth and presence. Those who own the records on CD or LP will not feel duped buying these discs, which are contained in digipaks that faithfully reproduce the original albums' artwork and liner notes. So revelatory are the clarity and detail, it's akin to having always heard Dylan from a theater's upper balcony, and now listening to him from fourth-row center.
The most striking improvement is the sense of depth, which allows listeners to hear into the music. Compression that had muffled instruments and squashed Dylan's voice has disappeared, making audible the reeds in his harmonica, wood of his guitar and, what may be the biggest discovery, continuity of his voice. Everybody playing with Dylan sounds infinitely better too. Rhythms have never been as solid or tight, the give-and-take interplay between musicians fully exposed. The albums' emotional impact seems to have increased tenfold, Dylan's poetic brew of politics, wit, humor and the grotesque served up with startling realism.” (Chicago Tribune)
