 This is a very good condition vinyl 2-record set, a 19 release on the American Columiba label (C2L 41, mono, 'mono 360 sound,' 2-eye) by singer/songwriter Bob Dylan, “Blonde On Blonde.”

14 tracks of his visionary sounds, including songs like “Rainy Day  Women #12 & 35," "Just Like A Woman," and "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat.”

From the wiki folks, "The album is believed to be the first significant double album in rock music its length forcing it to two LPs. It is notable for injecting Dylan's brand of blues rock, fully established on Highway 61 Revisited, with a more eclectic sound and even more surreal lyrics. It also marked the end of an era for Dylan, who would soon be involved in a motorcycle accident, significantly changing his musical approach.

Recorded in Nashville, the album was produced by Bob Johnston. It peaked at #9 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart in the US, eventually going double-platinum, while it reached #3 in the UK. It is ranked as the ninth greatest album of all time by both VH1 and Rolling Stone."

About the cover, "The cover of Blonde on Blonde features Dylan before a brick building, wearing a heavy button-up winter coat along with a black and white checkered scarf. He appears to be wearing a very simliar coat on the covers of his next two records, John Wesley Harding and Nashville Skyline. AllMusic writer Bill Janovitz notes though the picture is extremely blurred, Dylan appears to be scowling at the camera, seemingly asking, "You think you have a clear picture of who I am?"

The original inside gatefold featured a photograph of the Italian Tunisian-born actress Claudia Cardinale that was used without her permission. Some critics at the time questioned if the photo was of Dylan himself in drag. From 1968 onward, Cardinale's photo was removed from all American pressings of the album, making copies of the record sleeve featuring the actress a collector's item. However, some non-U.S. pressings of the album continue to use Cardinale's picture..."
