It did, but it was put on pause.

Honestly, it's 1/3 too many records and half what I feel comfortable paying

Bob Dylan - The Original Mono Recordings Box Set - $141. First 8 studio albums in mono pressed at RTI. Don’t own it myself but have heard the pressings are real nice and this seems to be a good deal on it. Around $250+ on Discogs.

Thanks! Just grabbed this... FYI:. Fremer over on Analog Planet gave this a glowing review: https://www.analogplanet.com/content/little-boy-lost-takes-himself-even-more-seriously-mono-0
 
Bought this, I have no Mono records, what can I expect vs Stereo?

From the Fremer review:

"Like Dylan's debut, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan was a spare, pure recording of guitar, harmonica and voice. It's more intimate, coherent, powerful and confrontational in mono. In stereo the guitar is in the right channel, Dylan's in the middle and the harmonica is in the left channel. It doesn't make spatial or artistic sense but in the early days of stereo that often happened just to show off the novelty of separation.

The same holds true for The Times They Are A Changin' and Another Side of Bob Dylan, though he adds some piano there. With Bringing It All Back Home's added instrumentation you can have a lively mono/stereo debate, though as we now know, Dylan, like The Beatles, was more interested in how the mono mixes sounded since that's how most kids would hear the album."

Hell yeah, hope it doesn't cancel
