Did Bob Dylan "ruin" Blood on the Tracks?

OK, here me out. lol Classic album, we all love it, but wasn't it perfect the first time? Why did he record (in my opinion) inferior retakes of half the album? I heard the "original" versions of "Tangled Up in Blue," "You're a Big Girl Now," "Idiot Wind" and "If You See Her, Say Hello" (on Biograph and The Bootleg Series vols. 1-3) before I heard the album versions so that may be why I prefer them but to my ears they are superior in every way.

I'm hoping that someday we get a reissue of the album as it was originally intended.

Am I crazy or do other people feel like he kind of gilded the lily a bit?

I agree man, that is one of my all time favorite albums. But that is one thing as a Dylan fan you have to hear... he like's ot change shit up. Think of live albums where he totally changed the arrangements of the song.

I much prefer the original to, to the........ whatever you call the others lol

I would like to see a reissue of all his classic albums, i feel the ones that came out where nothing special.

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener
