...and take my word for it, it works brilliantly strictly as an album...
...starting with the period-accurate front-and-back sleeves. I gotta tell you, just seeing the old Columbia Records eye logo kind of made my year so far.
BTW, in case you're wondering, the cover is based on this actual Dylan LP.
Pretty cool, no?
Of course, the music is the main attraction, and it's spine-tingling. I'll spare you a longer review, but you get the idea.
I should add that the above is the first new -- non-reissue or vintage/used -- LP I've bought in over 50 years. A factoid which kind of blows my tiny mind. 😎
Meanwhile, a coveted Power Pop No-Prize© will be awarded to the first reader who gleans the above's relevance to the theme of tomorrow's Weekend Essay Question.

"the above is the first new -- non-reissue -- LP I've bought in over 50 years." You're kidding, right?
Starting in late 1972, I got all my albums for free at Stereo Review. That lasted well in to the 90s and the CD era.
You mean The Weasels didn't charge you for their albums?

Is tomorrow's theme "Dylan Impersonations", starting with Joan Baez' "Simple Twist Of Fate"?
Alas, no.😎
It’s true. Steve got lots of record for free. And I got the country-rock ones that he didn’t like!
I LOVE my Poco LP’s! Thank you (again) Steve!

You also got a Pere Ubu. Which one of your students years later guessed I’d given to you.😎
The favorite LP album that got away and you wish you still had it?

Re Listomania: Best Or Worst Biopics Ever (although we might covered that topic a few weeks ago)
Nope. 😎
How about something like Best Riff On/Homage To A Classic Album Cover? - Like, for example, several acts over the years parodying Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass' WHIPPED CREAM & OTHER DELIGHTS
Only vaguely close, but because I love you more than food I'm declaring you the winner. Watch your mail for the coveted PowerPop No-Prize©. 😎
Yes folks, when Simels "gives you the air", he does it literally. Thanks buddy :-)
