Oh Mercy has always been a personal favorite. Since I already own two copies, the original domestic and Simply Vinyl, ( never heard any difference) I had decided to pass on the MFSL but am now having second thoughts.

Steve - digging it but my only other reference is digital and the 45 rpm is quite good. Pitch definition and depth are just flat out better...

Well @ 45rpm, I can only imagine.

Long Black coat is to use a well worn phrase   but in this case, revelatory.... I am stunned....

Ya'know Jim, I have made comparisons with a few Dylan recordings. I absolutely love the Dylan mono box set, sounds so analog. Yet when I compare a title from that set to a stereo MFSL copy, I get a more open transparent SQ but I'm not sure I like it better. 

So, there's the rub. Now, with more modern Dylan recordings, I can imagine that "Oh Mercy" would definitely be superior.

This is the burden I bear that I share.
