Description

Rare & Unique Mono version with movie actress Claudia Cardinale and "Unknown Whisperer" inside of Gatefold cover. The original inside gatefold in this auction features a photograph of Claudia Cardinale that was used without her permission. From 1968 onward, Cardinale's photo was removed from all American pressings of the album.

Unknown Female Whisperer: This picture also was removed in 1968, and we still don't know for certain the identity of the woman whispering in Bob's ear.

The mono LPs of Blonde On Blonde have significantly noticeable different mixes
The length of the tracks also differ, by up to 45 seconds in some cases!

Very Interesting Mono sound mixes on this particular MONO Orig Pressing!

If Highway 61 Revisited played as a garage rock record, the double album Blonde on Blonde inverted that sound, blending blues, country, rock, and folk into a wild, careening, and dense sound. Replacing the fiery Michael Bloomfield with the intense, weaving guitar of Robbie Robertson, Bob Dylan led a group comprised of his touring band the Hawks and session musicians through his richest set of songs. Blonde on Blonde is an album of enormous depth, providing endless lyrical and musical revelations on each play. Leavening the edginess of Highway 61 with a sense of the absurd, Blonde on Blonde is comprised entirely of songs driven by inventive, surreal, and witty wordplay, not only on the rockers but also on winding, moving ballads like "Visions of Johanna," "Just Like a Woman," and "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands." Throughout the record, the music matches the inventiveness of the songs, filled with cutting guitar riffs, liquid organ riffs, crisp pianos, and even woozy brass bands ("Rainy Day Women #12 & 35"). It's the culmination of Dylan's electric rock & roll period -- he would never release a studio record that rocked this hard, or had such bizarre imagery, ever again.
