Dylan mono box vinyl review.

I was tempted to buy the vinyl version but settled in the end for the cd box with the intention of getting some of the vinyl issues next year when they come out individually. The original mono recordings is a box set compilation album of recordings by bob dylan released in october 2010 on legacy recordings catalogue 88697761042 it consists of dylan s first eight studio albums in mono on nine compact discs the album blonde on blonde being issued on two discs in its original vinyl format it does not include the singles collection bob dylan s greatest hits released. This box collects bob dylan s first eight 12 inch lps his albums from bob dylan in 1962 to john wesley harding in 1968 as most people heard them as they were expected to be heard and as most often they were meant to be heard. As is fitting for a box of this magnitude the original mono recordings are accompanied by a deluxe booklet featuring vintage photographs of bob dylan and an expansive essay from renowned author and critic and longtime dylan aficionado greil marcus.

However i have wondered how the early uk lps here compare with the pressings in my 1964 69 vinyl box where of course they are also in mono. This box collects bob dylan s first eight 12 inch lps his albums from bob dylan in 1962 to john wesley harding in 1968 as most people heard them as they were expected to be heard and as most often they were meant to be heard.
