Dylan plugs in fully and the results are electric in every sense, opening with 'Like a Rolling Stone' and never letting up. The wordplay is savage and funny, the band loose and wild. A foundational rock record that still sounds dangerous. Sits between the landmarks and earns its spot.
On vinyl: First pressings command high prices; a quality reissue will often sound better anyway.
