Vinyl Me Please Essentials

Not so much a weak quarter as the upcoming Essentials picks are all truly brilliant works, and about as essential as they come. I think a lot of people are commenting on the fact that all 3 albums are already very available in the wild.

Agreed. These are great albums, so great that I picked quality pressings of many of them. If you can fill some giant holes in your collection this would be a good way to do it but I have, Dylan, TVZ, Beasties, and Bruce already.

My only gripe is with Blonde on Blonde. The one time they pick an artist's "best" album, they do it for an album so ubiquitous that there is a joke about not owning it in a movie set in a record store. Are there any pressing details yet, specifically, any reason to think this will sound better than the version from the mono box? Also, why even do colored vinyl if the color is so boring? Idk, I'm just salty bc I'd rather they have picked a deeper cut like Desire, Planet Waves, New Morning...

Here's what Storf wrote awhile back about Dylan:

I’m working on the assumption that basically everyone with a turntable has the Bob Dylan Vinyl Starter Kit: The Times They Are A-Changin’, Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited, Bob Dylan’s Greatest Hits and Blood on the Tracks. Those five albums are as prevalent in record stores as plastic placards separating albums, as prevalent as 45-year-old dudes looking for Captain Beefheart rarities. I would say roughly 78 percent of vinyl collectors don’t go further than that

They’re not proper deep cuts. It’s December, not doing Christmas in the Heart is inexcusable.

That's a pretty big assumption, particularly as to The Times They Are A-Changin' and Bringing It All Back Home. Not that they aren't great albums, but if you asked me to name his 3 most "classic" Dylan albums, I'd say Highway 61 Revisited, Blonde on Blonde, and Blood On The Tracks without hesitation.
 
Our December Essentials Record of the Month will feature Bob Dylan’s highly regarded Blonde on Blonde, the last of three albums Dylan recorded between 1965 and 1966. The album is pressed on 2LP “Blonde on Blonde'' vinyl from AAA lacquers cut from the original mono master tapes by Ryan Smith at GZ Vinyl. The record comes with a Listening Notes booklet written by Michael Simmons and an art print by Elio Moavero.
