I now am a MoFi convert, tho I refuse to buy 45 I dint want to get up that often.
2 weeks ago I had duke Ellington and then Billie Holiday right in my living room. A friend was here to witness it, TT is Palmer 2.5 and DVD XX2. He was truly amazed.
My copy arrived this lunch time [No 003176] another big thank you to Steve J
Graham.
They seem to have sent out all the preorders now. Mine just arrived. First ever MoFi 45 and I will be very interested to hear how it compares with my original.
Thanks again for the original alert - I wouldn't have wanted to pay more for this.
Finally mine arrived today. I wasn't in when they tried to deliver it yesterday.
Mine arrived today also. Thanks Steve for heads up it saved me £13 compared to Diverse price.
My pleasure. This reissue is similar to Desire for me. Initially I wasn't too impressed with the SQ but it's growing on me with every play.
Mine arrived yesterday too.
I think this is a fabulous version. I have never heard it sound this "real".
All of the Dylan MOFI 45rpm's I have gone for have been great so far.
I am very happy with it in terms of bringing Bob's vocals and presence forward in the mix.
At times a bit hard which I think is how Bob intended it as at that stage he was making a huge statement and wanted that 'there and now', unrehearsed, dynamic, radical and aggressive sound ..... I believe.
It does give the feeling of being Bob's session with the band behind and following him, although I never saw him in those days - this is how it was accordingly to those who were there....so nice!
The Stereo mix gives some nice interpretations and some real insights of him with the band which I like.
It also flows and rocks, which i really like.
But on the other hand it is not quite the same as the sound and feeling I have grown up with over the last, nearly, 50 years!
So very positive and glad I bought it although I do still rate the sound and feeling of the MONO version from his recent box set.
So now I have two version I rate the MONO box set and this Stereo mix.

p.s. As posted to a friend who may recognise the above
Quite superb, yet again. The best I've ever heard this album. I really don't get the opinion liking the mono mix. This is a band recording and mono reproduction doesn't do it justice. This is a gem, well done MFSL.
