| This album probably has more "hits" than most of the Dylan albums. It also is an early album. Some may not like Dylan's early sound. Not the best Dylan recording and I find the non-hits just OK. Still, gald I bought this one.

| Although I initially thought "I can't believe this SACD only has one review so far" I have to admit my lazyness has prevented me from offering my own review, so here it goes: Dylan's 1965 output included this album and the later "Highway 61 Revisited"--both classics. This one shows him shifting from folk to rock. Side 1 of the album has the hard-rocking, dreamlike electric songs (i.e. "Subterranean Homesick Blues" & "Maggie's Farm") while Side 2 had the materpiece acoustic folk songs, more introspective and obtuse than his earlier folk releases (i.e. "Gates of Eden" & "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) & "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue"). Dylan's singing voice is in great shape. The sound quality from the remastering is very good. The multichannel 5.1 mix is nice. It isn't bad, but it isn't great. It certainly doesn't detract from the listening experience.

I bought the Limited Edition Box Set of Bob Dylan SACDs and I feel that this is the best disc from the set. This was not one of my favourites, but I have re-discovered it on SACD and its a revelation.
If you have the old standard CD copy the pop it in your player and listen to Its Alright Ma, then place this SACD disc in your player and compare......its amazing!
As a box set the quality of discs varies, with JWH being a poor effort, but there are certain albums including BIABH which are fantastic.
