Mono 180g 9LP Box Set!
Bob Dylans first eight groundbreaking albums are returning to the marketplace for the first time ever in a box set of newly mastered mono versions on fully analogue 180-gram vinyl.
"The eight reissues - from his 1962 eponymous debut through 1967's John Wesley Harding - feature the original monarual mixes. Gone is the weird stereo separation that split voice, guitar, and harmonica into an unnaturally wide soundstage. Restored is the punchy bass that had been reduced in the original stereo mixes to meet limitations of early- to mid-60s stereo cartridge technology." - Greg Cahill, The Absolute Sound, Janaury 2011, Issue 209
"Dylan spent a lot of time supervising the original mono mixes, and these reissues accurately reflect his intentions." - Greg Cahill, The Absolute Sound, Janaury 2011, Issue 209
The Original Mono Recordings are comprised of these albums painstakingly reproduced from their first generation monaural mixes as the artist intended them to be heard: One channel of powerful sound, both direct and immediate. While stereo recordings had been available as early as the mid-1950s, mono was still the predominant and often preferred mode of recording and mixing by the top artists of the 1960s. As a result, artists like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan devoted their attention to the mono mixes, leaving the stereo mixing process to studio engineers.
The Original Mono Recordings are accompanied by a deluxe booklet, featuring vintage photographs of Bob Dylan and an expansive essay from renowned author and critic and longtime Dylan aficionado Greil Marcus. Each disc in the set comes in its own individual jacket which faithfully replicates the original album artwork, complete with labels and stickers that were found on the original 1960s releases.
