Blood On The Tracks MoFi UD1S

I hear ya, @viridian. The NY-recorded version of BOTT came out on LP this past Record Store Day, and it really makes you question Dylan's judgment. Who knows what he is listening for.

A similar thing transpired with Lennon's "comeback" album Starting Over. He recorded it first with Cheap Trick as his band, but decided to redo it in a more "Pop" (radio-friendly?) style. He later said he regretted that decision, and wished he had used the more Rock 'n' Roll-style Cheap Trick recordings. So do I, not at all liking the released album. At least Mommy, I mean Yoko, isn't on it ;-) .

The first for me was John Wesley Harding, but I’m old ;-). Then I liked Nashville Skyline, found Self Portrait fascinating, funny, a real hoot (it was brutally panned by critics, who later realized they just didn’t get it at the time), loved New Morning and then Planet Waves.

Blood On The Tracks didn’t speak to me (Dylan himself has said he himself doesn’t understand why people would want to listen to his pain---the separation and divorce from Sarah is the source material of the album's songs), but by then I had gone back and absorbed Blonde On Blonde and the two before that incredible masterpiece.
