    Fantastic Soundstage and a nice pressing from Holland, of course a masterpiece from Daniel Lanois

      The best album ever! Dylan’s pick! Человек в длинном черном плаще - аминь!
      • johansson7713903's avatar
        Under rated Dylan album. Amazing sound quality and then ”Man in the black coat”. One of the greatest songs to test your sound system

          "Edit Release: Reverted based on RSG §7.1.2."The country is NOT where the release was manufactured."" For me as a collector this is a very wrong way to describe a release. It is always the country where the record is pressed which concerns. Always.

            Sound is veeeery good, can only say that if you see a copy in a nice condition, grab it.

              Don't know how the other versions of this sound, but this is MARVELLOUS (especially compared to the CD & streaming versions): do your ears a fucking favour and grab an OG pressing like this. Bob's voice is great, so alive and close, and the instruments are waaay better, more clear…
              Wish I could compare it with the MoFi version though: from the other reviews, the bass is more powerful (which is VERY important on this record)
