Story & Background
This specific 1965 copy, a first CBS pressing, embodies a pivotal moment in music history, whose cover is itself a narrative masterpiece that every collector should admire. Shot by Daniel Kramer in Albert Grossman's lavish living room in Woodstock, New York, the image shows an enigmatic Dylan with Sally Grossman in the background, but it is the carefully orchestrated "clutter" of objects on the coffee table that foreshadows his imminent sonic revolution. Among a copy of "Time" with LBJ and a folk magazine "Fay" suggesting the past, an LP by Little Richard stands out like a bolt from the blue, an undisputed symbol of the wildest rock'n'roll. This juxtaposition is not accidental, but rather a programmatic statement: the definitive farewell to the acoustic purism that had made him famous and the complete embrace of electric sounds. It was a bold announcement that would polarise the public, shaking the foundations of the folk genre and consecrating Dylan as an artist in constant flux, whose genius went far beyond any pre-existing definition, making this edition an irreplaceable discographic treasure.
