Bob Dylan MoFi


Heard from a very reliable source that Mobile fidelity Sound labs will be releasing a set of Dylan Lps in Mono in the coming months. Time to open the wallet once again.

Thank you, bdp, that was an incredible post. I really appreciate you taking the time to share that perspective. I will re-listen to those albums with renewed enthusiasm!

As for Time Out of Mind- I always loved the album- as a matter of fact it's one of my favorites. But, unfortunately, even the vinyl pressing sounds kind of meh. Which is alright- there's some music I critically listen to, some I just listen to because I love and it's a real bonus when those two come together!


Just for the record, I have "Time Out Of Mind". I bought it when it was initially released, played it once, put it away. (Many, many years/system changes ago!) By the way, was this the lp that had Dylan on stage at the Grammy's, when "SOY BOMB" came on stage?

19 years ago, many things have changed. bdp24, you have moved me enough for a good cleaning and, really, a good evaluation. I thank you for this self-imposed challenge!


bdp24:

I re-listened today.

One point to mention, Regarding these two artists, (both, I assume would not be agreeable to being in "the background". This aspect is present in "TGFTNC", as these two artists/singers, are relaying this song, "in their own" interpretation, (not "a singular" interpretation), in any lesser degree as you'd normally hear. These two "strong" artists, are delivering their own performance, within the constraints of a singular recording!!!

This would never/not be in the conversation today! It works.

Cheers!
I got a dished copy (both records) of Nashville Skyline from MOFi as well. Have not listened yet. Very uncharacteristic pressing for MoFi.
Slaw, your mention of the sound of Oh Mercy on LP has reminded of the fact that by the time that album came out, I was of the opinion that since LP's were in all probability being mastered from a digital source, there was no point in getting the LP (a digitally sourced LP---the worst of both worlds). Now I'm curious to compare the LP to the CD of both it and Time Out of Mind. I would love to have those albums in better-than-CD sound!
