LP includes one 150-gram vinyl Review: Sony Japan Vinyl Top Notch - Why would anyone pay $50 for a reissue of a fifty-five year old recording? Read on. This is a review for the 2018 Limited Edition Sony Japan vinyl stereo 33 1/3RPM version of Hwy. 61 Revisited (SIJP 1003). Fabulous pressing of a Dylan's 1965 masterpiece. Artwork replicates Columbia's original '65 Japanese release--appears to be very authentic. Weight is 150-160 grams (guessing). Vinyl is freakishly flat, clean sounding, and the hole is dead center. ZERO pops, clicks or surface noise (rare!). Exceptionally fine-quality vinyl. My system: VPI Prime Scout with JMW 3D arm, low output Grado Reference 3 cartridge, Sutherland pre, Yamaha int. amp, BW 705's, REL T7i sub. Stereo mix is much better than I remember with Dylan's voice dead center throughout, drums panned mostly left, Hammond left, piano/e-piano right, electric rhythm guitars split L/R, Kooper's lead guitar and Dylan's acoustic centered. Harmonica is given a nice 3D effect as it moves between a couple of mics. Only criticism: Slightly bass shy. Sort it out with an EQ bump if you wish but it is typical for the period during which it was recorded. Recent MoFi 45RPM RI Blond on Blond, recorded one year after Hwy. 61, has noticeably fuller and punchier bass, but it's noisier (pops, clicks, swoosh). Otherwise very modern sounding mix for '65. I like it better than the 180 gram QRP John Wesley Harding mono release which is shrill even with a proper mono cartridge. No idea how this reissue was handled. All analog? Source tapes transferred to computer? (If you know, please respond). It doesn't matter because you there's a lot of analog/tube/tape mojo happening. Dylan's voice is full and the annoying nasal frequencies from past CD RI's are absent. Sibilants are perfect-- hats/rides/cymbals/shakers/tambourines are tight and well defined with no smear. The whole mix hangs together with a perfect mid 60's warmth that is really hard to achieve with digital gear. I spend much of my work day mixing and mastering music using a hybrid mashup of digital and analog tools, and I've had a hand in creating plenty of terrible sounding recordings over the years (hopefully not too many lately); so I know what good and bad records sound like. This particular Sony Japan release is a good one. Music doesn't get much better than this. Check out the photo to see the goodies that come with the record. CAUTION: The music grooves on this 33.33 RPM single disc go almost to the label. Make sure your armwand can negotiate that territory or you'll miss part of Ballad of a Thin Man and Desolation Row, and that would be a shame! Dylan. Nobody like him. This vinyl release honors the quality of his music quite well. Review: Great! - Dylan’s best album

Collectable Cd of Bob Dylan

「ディランを聴きはじめてもう45年かぁ」と若かりし頃を思い出してアナログ・レコードを買いました。 あの頃の混沌とした音の混ざり具合が良いですね。CDだとどうしても「薄っぺらな感じ」になってしまうところですが、アナログ盤は、中低音がドッシリ。身体の真ん中にドーンと来ます。

Highway 61 Revisited es un álbum icónico de Bob Dylan, donde el folk se mezcla con el rock de manera magistral. Cada tema es profundo y cargado de historia, con letras que siguen resonando décadas después 🎤🎸. Canciones como “Like a Rolling Stone” son auténticos himnos que definieron toda una generación. La producción mantiene ese toque crudo y auténtico que caracteriza a Dylan, y la instrumentación es perfecta para disfrutar del viaje musical que propone el disco. En resumen, un must-have para cualquier amante de la música y para quienes quieren sumergirse en la esencia del rock clásico 🖤.
