Legacy Recordings

Recorded in New York in June, 1965, and on the charts a month later, this record changed everything. The electric side of Dylan’s Bringing It All Back Home, it turned out, was but a tease compared to this crashing, tumbling torrent. The Byrds’ “Mr. Tambourine Man” had a new, exhilarating lilt to it, but it was compact and neat: this sprawled all over the place. Clock-fearing radio stations tried to fade the six-minute track halfway through, but it would not be contained; Dylan and his East Coast wrecking crew whipped up a noise that, even in the summer of ’65—arguably the best pop moment in history—mowed down everything in its vicinity.
