Description
On offer here from my rare record collection is Bob Dylan Highway 61 Revisited the 1965 first pressed mono.
In grading the album, I can say that the vinyl/wax on both sides is in excellent condition! The record labels are in top condition with NO writing, NO wear, and just a few spindle marks. Mono copies of this album are becoming rarer by the day although second pressed stereo copies are readily available.
The outer sleeve is strong and as good you can expect for an album of 50 years. No problems to report.
Highway 61 Revisited is the sixth studio album by the American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on August 30, 1965 by Columbia Records. Having until then recorded mostly acoustic music, Dylan used rock musicians as his backing band on every track of the album, except for the closing 11-minute ballad, "Desolation Row". Critics have focused on the innovative way in which Dylan combined driving, blues-based music with the subtlety of poetry to create songs that captured the political and cultural chaos of contemporary America. Author Michael Gray has argued that in an important sense the 1960s "started" with this album.
Leading with the hit single "Like a Rolling Stone", the album features songs that Dylan has continued to perform live over his long career, including "Ballad of a Thin Man" and "Highway 61 Revisited". He named the album after the major American highway which connected his birthplace, Duluth, Minnesota, to southern cities famed for their musical heritage, including St. Louis, Memphis, New Orleans, and the Delta blues area of Mississippi.
Highway 61 Revisited peaked at number three in the United States charts and number four in the United Kingdom. The album was ranked number four on Rolling Stone??'?s "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". "Like a Rolling Stone" was a top-10 hit in several countries, and was listed at number one on Rolling Stone??'?s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list.
.Good album to have in your collection and certainly a good album investment for the future.
