Mono Dylan on vinyl

Posted by: fathings cat on 17 October 2010

Anyone had the opportunity to listen to the new Dylan mono box set on vinyl.

It's pricey but and here is the big but how good does it sound - I would like to get it but some vinyl reissues can be hit & miss.....

Any experiences?

You will have to wait. I believe it does not ship until December.

I purchased the Sundazed Dylan mono reissues 2-3 years back

The mono versions were a huge improvement on the Columbia stereo pressings I had both in terms of impact and sound quality. The Columbia pressings (mainly from late 80s) were no great shakes though

I checked on Sundazed just now and their mono pressings are still available as a set or individually

I had all of these sent from America about a year back to save trying to pick-up an LP here and another there (currently all 10 for $150). They are fabulous pressings that I would highly recommend. I have a few other re-masters on the Sundazed label (eg Love Forever Changes) and they are similarly great quality LPs.

Best wishes

So then, the question becomes whether anyone can do a comparative listening between the Sundazed pressings and those yet to be released by Sony. Does anyone know where the Sony releases are being pressed?

I have a few original Dylan albums in mono on vinyl from way back when I was knee high to grasshopper - they still sound good to me. I prefer the electric ones in stereo though.

Any news, anyone, on the vinyl pressings (which are now advertised on various sites as being available)?

Do we have to buy the whole box because I only want Nashville Skyline?

I don't think Nashville Skyline is in the boxed set anyway. Only goes up to John Wesley Harding!!
