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. Released in 1965, it's a key entry in Bob Dylan's run.
On vinyl: Original pressings are collector's territory now, so most listeners reach for a well-reviewed reissue.
