BOB DYLAN STREET LEGAL - COLLECTORS DECADE PLUS OUT OF PRINT LIMITED EDITION RARE JAPAN REPLICA OBI CD WITH THE ORIGINAL RELEASE BLACK & SILVER VERIFICATION STICKER STILL ATTACHED THAT PROVES THIS WAS FROM THE ORIGINAL 2004 COLLECTORS RELEASE. THESE STICKERS WERE ONLY AVAILABLE IN THE 1ST PRESSING RUNS FOR COLLECTORS WHAT IS A JAPAN "MINI-LP-SLEEVE" CD? Have you ever lamented the loss of one of the 20th Century's great art forms, the 12" vinyl LP jacket? Then "mini-LP-sleeve" CD's may be for you. Mini-sleeve CDs are manufactured in Japan under license. The disc is packaged inside a 135MM X 135MM cardboard precision-miniature replica of the original classic vinyl-LP album. Also, anything contained in the original LP, such as gatefolds, booklets, lyric sheets, posters, printed LP sleeves, stickers, embosses, special LP cover paper/inks/textures and/or die cuts, are precisely replicated and included. An English-language lyric sheet is always included, even if the original LP did not have printed lyrics. Then, there's the sonic quality: Mini-sleeves have dedicated remastering and can often be superior to the audio on the same title anywhere else in the world. There also may be bonus tracks unavailable elsewhere. Each Japan mini-sleeve has an "obi" ("oh-bee"), a removable Japan-language promotional strip. The obi lists the Japan street date of that particular release, the catalog number, the mastering info, and often the original album's release date. Bonus tracks are only listed on the obi, maintaining the integrity of the original LP artwork. The obi's are collectable, and should not be discarded. All mini-sleeve releases are tremendously limited editions mainly pressed on future orders only and once released immediately out of print. This fact along with other latter features we've mentioned make these titles rare collectibles that sell in the collectors markets for $100's of dollars apiece. Japanese digitally re-mastered Mini LP replica Limited Edition Collection with OBI sash down the front – only VERY FEW pieces made world-wide and are immediately Out of Print. Recorded from the finest Original Masters available. Comes with anti-static sleeves similar to Vinyl LPs, Cardboard packaging like an LP.

The songs are truly among Dylan's most melodic best and sung with incredible fervor. If you are a Dylan fan you've heard this from countless people: "I'm sure Dylan is a good song writer but he just can't sing!" Ok, we Dylan fans know that's not true but next time it happens just pull out "Street Legal" to prove that he can too sing by anyone's standards. Many of these songs are a tour-de-force of Dylan's absolutely unique and ingenious way of phrasing. He rhymes lines with the middle of some words, cramming the rest of the line into a space only he could find within the beat. The backing on this album is also exceptional. It's a big band with horns and backup singers in the tradition of Joe Cocker tunes like "Feeling Alright." They play with incredible intensity. The lyrics are sometimes bewildering. The songs are seldom linear stories but more like collections of imagery. This works because you always hear something new depending on the mood you're in. There's also a lot of psydo-religious imagery packed in there. I wonder why this isn't considered the first of his "born again" phase after hearing it. It doesn't get preachy, though, more like a level of mysticism, and unfocused at that. 1. Changing of the Guards 2. New Pony 3. No Time to Think 4. Baby Stop Crying 5. Is Your Love in Vain? 6.
