Description
This is Bob Dylan's excellent 1968 release which features such songs as "All Along the Watchtower" and "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight" "I Pity the Poor Immigrant" and "The Wicked Messenger" among eight others. This particular LP is an audiophile reissue by the original record company Columbia and was released in a limited edition around year 2000. It is pressed on 180 gram virgin vinyl. The front cover descriptive sticker reads: "180 gram limited edition classic LP, high-definition premium virgin vinyl pressing for super fidelity, the nicest thing you can do for your stylus and your ears".
The bottom left corner of the LP jacket is slightly bent, which is hard to even see in photographs, otherwise no problems - it's just waiting to be unsealed and played.
"Ranking near the top of anyone's list of Dylan's masterpieces, this post-motorcycle-accident career-turning-point finds Dylan veering from the razor-edged desperation of "All Along The Watchtower" to the gentle, back-porch sway of "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight", and all points in between. This landmark LP was cut with the cream of Nashville's studio cats and generally credited as a blueprint for the era's country-rock movement".
"Bob Dylan returned from exile with John Wesley Harding, a quiet, country-tinged album that split dramatically from his previous three albums. A calm, reflective album, John Wesley Harding strips away all of the wilder tendencies of Dylan¹s rock albums...the album is his first serious foray into country, but only a handful of songs, such as "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight," are straight country songs. Instead, John Wesley Harding is informed by the rustic sound of country, as well as many rural myths, with seemingly simple songs like "All Along the Watchtower," "I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine" and "The Wicked Messenger" revealing several layers of meanings with repeated plays."
