I just received an email on Friday from Music Direct, the Mobile Fidelity One Step of Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks just shipped! Can't wait to hear this one........one of my favorite albums of all time, and I never spent the $$$ on the original MOFI version, so that's great too. Santana's Abraxas will be hard to beat, but BOTT is just such a classic album, really looking forward to this one. I should receive it on Monday.

Sounds absolutely amazing, if you're a Dylan fan and love Blood on the Tracks, probably want to try and grab a copy. I know it's expensive but it's the best I've heard this album sound by a long shot.

Yes Buck....I couldn't agree more.

It is expensive and would only buy an album I truly love from start to finish.
Would love to see a Beatles and Rolling Stones Box set.

Well, you could always pony up for a new old stock Mobile Fidelity box of those two bands.......think they were released back in the 80's if I'm not mistaken? Probably cost you a couple grand though! From what I've read, the newer Beatles and Rolling Stones mono boxes sound better than those anyway. If you're a Rolling Stones fan, you should check out the mono vinyl box set. It sound excellent.

I have them both. Just think that if they were both rereleased today at 45RPM it will sound better. (Maybe)

What did he tell us last year at RMAF? Still waiting for Mark Knopfler to sign off I guess. Jeez, how long should that take I mean really.

I also have the Bob Dylan one-step. Agree it sounds amazing. Probably the best sounding album I own.
