Bob Dylan

'Blood On The Tracks'

CBS, UK, 1974

CBS 69097

A MASTERCLASS in perfection. Say what you like about Dylan's early folk troubador period - sure some of us thought he was taking the proverbial whilst many hailed him as the messiah. Personally I didn't really get it until this album and then it hit me like a ton of bricks! Clearly the man is a pure genius and the songs on this album go a long way to irrevocably prove the point. 'Tangled Up In Blue', 'Simple Twist Of Fate' 'Shelter From The Storm' and 'Idiot Wind' are four tracks that have never been beaten for sheer consumate brilliance. I could go on, but what is the point? Really this is one of the greatest rock albums of all time and here's a chance to get a really great copy with the original David Oppenheim artwork and Hamill text on the rear of the sleeve that for legal reasons was withdrawn immediately after the first shipment.

This auction is part of a fantastic collection of seventies rock which I was lucky enough to acquire. Most of these records were stored with the utmost care and sparsely played. Some were possibly never played or may have been for just a handful of times.
