I dated this CD issue 1991 although Martin C. Strong's Great Rock Discography suggests a September 1993 date. Columbia's catalogue number (467842 2) belongs to 1991 though, and some other Dylan albums with close-by numbers were definitely released in 1991. I suspect, however, that the transparent jewel case, as uploaded here, was issued only some years later.
As I became seriously interested in rock music in 1969/70, I was not very familiar with Bob Dylan's classic folk rock albums of the mid-1960s. I rather came to know him as acoustic protest singer on The Concert For Bangla-Desh or the George Jackson single, both of 1971. When the very personal Blood On The Tracks album came out in early 1975, I was not overly impressed. Certainly I found it interesting musically but I did not understand much of the singing as there was no lyrics sheet enclosed. I did not become a Dylan fan before his great next album, Desire, propelled by the rousing Hurricane single. In that year, I also bought Blood On The Tracks after having found an illegal Dylan songbook, so I could check the lyrics eventually. I came to appreciate the twisted storylines of Simple Twist Of Fate, Lily, Rosemary And The Jack Of Hearts, and especially Tangled Up In Blue, and to cherish the desolate If You See Her, Say Hello, and I still hear the album every now and then.
This here was the second CD release in Europe, with a very poor layout and practically no credits, which doesn't matter much though as the official album credits, given after the first, withdrawn album version, are incomplete and partly wrong anyway.
