If Highway 61 revisited played as a garage rock record, the double album Blonde On Blonde inverted that sound, blending blues, country, rock, and folk into a wild, careening, and dense sound. Replacing the fiery Michael with the intense, weaving guitar of Robbie Robertson, Bob Dylan led a group comprised of his touring band The Hawks and session musicians through his richest set of songs. Blonde On Blonde is an album of enormous depth, providing endless lyrical and musical revelations on each play. Leavening the edginess of Highway 61 with a sense of the absurd, Blonde On Blonde is comprised entirely of songs driven by inventive, surreal, and witty wordplay, not only on the rockers but also on winding, moving ballads like "Visions of Johanna," "Just Like a Woman," and "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands." Throughout the record, the music matches the inventiveness of the songs, filled with cutting guitar riffs, liquid organ riffs, crisp pianos, and even woozy brass bands ("Rainy Day Women #12 & 35"). It's the culmination of Dylan’s electric rock & roll period -- he would never release a studio record that rocked this hard, or had such bizarre imagery, ever again. (ALLMusic)

Note: All unsealed records are cleaned on a VPI machine.
Grading: Cover/Vinyl (double LPs cover/vinyl/vinyl etc.)

NM: Both cover and record are like new
EX: Some slight wear to cover (As described in some detail in the listing). At least a couple of visual marks on the vinyl but light in nature. Record should play well.
VG+: The cover may have minor seam splits, ring wear, cover wear, small sticker tears etc. On the vinyl there may be visual marks (e.g. light scuffs, hairline scratches). There may be some intermittent, light background noise.
VG: More wear on cover and more wear on record (multiple marks). May be some repetitive light ticks or occasional pops but record will play without skipping or sticking.
VG-: The cover will have seam splits (possibly taped repaired, but only with scotch tape. No duct tape or masking tape repairs. May have some magic-marker writing. The record may have some deeper audible scratches. There will be some clicks and pops, more consistently than that of a VG record but record will play without skipping/sticking.
G: In essence, the cover will look pretty much trashed. The record will have heavy wear, deep scratches and very apparent surface noise, clicks or pops.
 Note: LPs are graded visually and conservatively under bright lights. Those with questionable marks are play graded
