BOB DYLAN Another Side Of Bob Dylan (Original Master Recording limited edition Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab 11-track stereo double album 2-LP mastered by Krieg Wunderlich on the Gain 2 Ultra Analog System specially plated and pressed on180-gram High-Definition Vinyl at 45RPM. The ever-evasive Bob Dylan never explicitly stated exactly what represented the another side of himself referenced in the title to his second 1964 record. Yet the whimsical moods hallucinogenic prose humorous angles transparent mistakes and noncommittal themes give a pretty clear idea at what the Bard hinted as he emerged from being labeled as a reluctant generation spokesperson and folk savior after releasing two highly intellectual socially pioneering sets replete with protest songs. Dylan needed to take a breath step back from the drama and reevaluate his surroundings. Another Side of Bob Dylan is all that and more.

Be there as the Minnesota native spends the evening of June 9 1964 in Columbias Studio A and displaying an openness hed never before revealed in a formal environment lays down the songs that compromise his fourth album. Featuring minimal editing Another Side of Bob Dylan is naked truthful and whimsical. Mobile Fidelitys reissue illuminates the artists condition – he laughs in the midst of songs experiences a few false starts hits a couple of bum notes occasionally sings as if hes stumbling down a Manhattan sidewalk after having one too many at a smoky pub prizes rawness over perfection – with microscopic accuracy. Indeed Dylans slightly woozy and completely playful state related to his having downed a handful of bottles of Beaujolais during the sessions. The uninhibited joie de vive is discernable in the rattling piano lines on Black Crow Blues seemingly subconscious ramble of the hysterical folk rhyming of Motorpsycho Nightmare bluesy dream sequencing throughout I Dont Believe You and intentionally out-of-tune yodeling during All I Really Want to Do. On a majority of the prized set Dylan lets his guard down but does so in clever manners that speak to his surrealist imagination and biting wit. He possesses the rare ability to make planned strategies appear spontaneous to challenge audiences with stinting wordplay and minimalist melodies that provide a deceptive false security. And so the apparently autobiographical and self-aware My Back Pages one of the earliest examples of Dylans immersion into symbolist prose and abstract metaphor remains controversial for its on-the-surface denouncement of his earlier condemnations of social institutions and injustices. Peeled back the tune is a brilliant release – an essential escape hatch for Dylan to both relieve himself of unneeded pressures and distance himself from pundits. As an indelible piece of art it succeeds in masquerading obvious meaning while simultaneously forcing listeners to question their own actions. Quintessential Dylan. As is the trifecta of relationship-themed compositions that closes the record as well as the eternal Chimes of Freedom the standard that journalist Paul Williams dubbed Dylans Sermon on the Mount. Its inseparable conjunction of apocalyptic imagery personal emotion allusive lyricism balladic alliteration and inclusive sympathy signaled that having already eviscerated the rules associated with pop and folk music Dylan had just begun his assault on our consciousness making Another Side of Bob Dylan that much more mysterious unequivocal and requisite.
