Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

 

Taking the first, electric side of Bringing It All Back Home to its logical conclusion, Bob Dylan hired a full rock & roll band, featuring guitarist Michael Bloomfield, for Highway 61 Revisited. Opening with the epic "Like a Rolling Stone," Highway 61 Revisited careens through nine songs that range from reflective folk-rock ("Desolation Row") and blues ("It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry") to flat-out garage rock ("Tombstone Blues," "From a Buick 6," "Highway 61 Revisited"). Dylan had not only changed his sound, but his persona, trading the folk troubadour for a streetwise, cynical hipster. Throughout the album, he embraces druggy, surreal imagery, which can either have a sense of menace or beauty, and the music reflects that, jumping between soothing melodies to hard, bluesy rock. And that is the most revolutionary thing about Highway 61 Revisited — it proved that rock & roll needn't be collegiate and tame in order to be literate, poetic, and complex.

   

From the estate of Bruce Gary (The Knack). He was an avid collector who cherished and took excellent care of his collection. This comes straight from his extensive private collection, was barely played and treated with utmost care. 

 

Any flaws are noted.  We do not have an LP player; therefore we cannot fully test this LP.

I charge a $6 handling fee in addition to the normal US Post office shipping charge, which covers the cost of my supplies and the time and care I take to pack.

 

Insurance and delivery confirmation are included in the $6 Handling Fee. 

 

Please note that packaging is of the highest quality. The disc is packed outside of the sleeve in order to prevent any sleeve splitting in transit. I use professional LP mailers, unless you choose a USPS flat rate box. Two 12” cardboard stiffeners support the disc and its cover. The disc, in its inner sleeve, and its cover, sandwiched between cardboard stiffeners, is then packed and taped inside bubble wrap before being sealed in the mailer. The mailer is then supported by tape around all edges in order to completely seal the package and minimize risk.

 

I take extra care to ensure that your purchase arrives in perfect condition.   

Thank you for looking!
