I was surprised by how much I've enjoyed listening tonight to Dylan's Modern Times, Columbia 82876 87606. The recording quality was far better than I was expecting - nicely mastered and pressed, too.

Modern Times is without question one of Dylan’s best albums. In every way, lyrically, musically, voice, what have you. I wish I had the LP since the CD is aggressively compressed, dynamic range wise.  I am not a happy camper about it, either.

rushton---Dylan had Daniel Lanois produce his Time Out of Mind album, and the sound was a turgid, muddy mess. Thankfully Bob has been doing it himself lately, and the sound of his last few albums is much better. Not audiophile, but much better than average for these days. By the way, a great album of his from the early 70's, Planet Waves, has just been released on LP and SACD by Mobile Fidelity. The original LP on Asylum had a very organic, unproduced sound quality, recorded with The Band in a couple of days. Good album, hope MF did it right.

Daniel Lanois also produced Oh, Mercy, which was a masterpiece.
