Story & Background
"Blood on the Tracks" from 1975, with its first pressing, encapsulates a turbulent and almost legendary production history. After recording most of the album in New York in September 1974 with a full band, Bob Dylan felt dissatisfied, finding the performances too rigid and detached. Persuaded by his brother David, he decided to re-record five crucial tracks – "Tangled Up in Blue", "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts", "If You See Her, Say Hello", "Shelter from the Storm" and "Idiot Wind" – at Sound 80 Studios in Minneapolis in December of the same year, a few weeks before the scheduled release date. This last-minute change, often performed with local musicians, lent these tracks a different energy and sensibility, creating two distinct versions of an already iconic record and making some extremely rare promotional copies with the original New York takes highly sought after by collectors.
