Oh baby...I just found out (belatedly, I know...fuck you!) that Sony is releasing 15 classic Dylan albums on hybrid SACD/CD format in August! Holy fucking shit...they're rumored to have the sound quality of the Rolling Stones remasters that kicked my ass this past fall, even on standard CD players. Oh my fucking god...to have Nashville Skyline in decent sound...oh lord almighty holy fucking shitfuck... x 10,416,738!!!

Bob Dylan's voice...

His music goes far deeper than the "sound" of his voice. There is a reason that he's commonly recognized as one of the most important songwriters EVER.

Love Dylan man! When to his concert and got my A** kicked!

Desire is one of my faves. very underrated, but it's getting the remaster treatment too

which 15???

oh please let OH MERCY be one of them, oh please let OH MERCY be one of them, oh please let OH MERCY be one of themoh please let OH MERCY be one of themoh please let OH MERCY be one of themoh please let OH MERCY be one of themoh please let OH MERCY be one of themoh please let OH MERCY be one of them

Almost all of my favorite Dylan albums are on that list! I'm pretty much already shitting in my pants! The word is that they sound fabulous...just like the Stones remasters of last fall...oh baby...

Dammit...as soon as I get done typing up the list, I see your post from literally a minute earlier. D'oh!

DAMMIT!!

how am i supposed to save $$$ for my vacation in February with all of these reissues coming out??? grrr.

I'll definitely get at least 4 or 5 of them, Oh Mercy, Infidels, Blood on the Tracks. Blonde on Blonde certainly...

Some people just don't get Bob. I don't know why. He sings with such passion and he is (IMO) the greatest lyricist ever! I am so happy to hear about the remasters. Those that don't get Bob, you go back to listening to Justin Timberlake and Mariah Carey

I'll be buying them all. ASAP!


If only Prince would get his shit remastered...but that's a whole 'nother story...

Some Dylan trivia:

Bet you didn't know that one of Bob Dylan's ex-wives is a black woman who used to be one of his backup singers. They had a daughter together, and she's a teenager now. Her name is Desiree Dylan.

Yes I did, actually. Carolyn Dennis. He wrote an unreleased song about their relationship called "Let's Keep It Between Us" and performed on the 1980/81 tour.

I can't believe I have to wait two fucking months to get these CDs...shit...granted, getting married a month from today will take my mind off of it a bit, but we're talking about Nashville Skyline, Blood on the Tracks, Planet Waves, etc. here!!!

Blood on the tracks is a masterpiece. I listen to this cd the most I think. Every song makes my heart ache and some even bring tears. I just love Bob. I hope he continues to put out music until the day he dies. He's definitely one the our greatest musicians.

I followed him on tour this year...really great shows, can't wait to get these superaudio discs. Finally getting the treatment they deserve.

I've got the Philharmonia Hall show thats being released on a really great boot called All Hallows Eve and it's pretty amazing, can't wait for the official copy.
