Bob Dylan – Shot Of Love

My copy has a PC on the label and side B etched runout is BL 37496 G2D. Everything else is the same.

im here for Lenny Bruce! Thank you TH for the spotlight!

not a huge fan of this album but the pressing is good, so if u r a fan of "christian" dylan, definetly recommended

Wanting to hear Dylan's albums sounding their best, I sought out this title which didn't get "remastered" until 30 years after the fact. Sadly, I heard NO discernable difference between the content of this "remaster" and the original release! In disbelief, I ripped both titles and compared wave forms in editing software. The two rips were impossible to tell one from the other, with identical peaks/valleys occupying the exact same dynamic range throughout as previously, and no other customary evidence of modification. Even the same handful of tracks slightly stronger on the left channel remained the same. If you have a playable CD of an older pressing, don't bother to seek this out. If there were ANY kind of tweaking done here, it is an extremely miniscule EQ treatment that normal ears won't detect and which don't visibly affect the wave form.

Just received the 2017 re-issue (remastered?). Good quality pressing, some songs shine through with vinyl, specifically some keyboard parts that might easily get lost in the mix seem more defined. Comes not with poly sleeve but the black/white handwritten credits and lyrics on the full sleeve. Also the 2017 release includes free mp3 dl from wearevinyl.com.
No credits are listed for B1 (The Groom's Still Waiting at the Altar) because in the original 1981 release, this track was not on the LP. Instead, it was the B-side of the single A-side Heart of Mine, but eventually received more airplay on the radio than its A-side counterpart. In re-releases, it was included as the first track on the 2nd side, and was also included on the CD release.
Credits, besides obviously BD himself, deduced from Clinton Heylin's Still on the Road catalog of all Dylan recordings, likely include the trio of Korchmar, Drummond, and Keltner.

Even this release isn't from Dylans most popular era I find most of the songs quite enjoyable. I don't think any of his Christian era album is precisely bad.

Anyone know if this comes in a poly lined sleeve?

Surely this is an Eu copy (mine certainly is). With, for the first time in Europe, "The Groom's Still Waiting At The Altar" on vinyl.

An underrated album! Highlight tracks - "Shot of Love", "Heart of Mine", "In the Summertime" and of course one of Dylan's very best, the timeless "Every Grain of Sand".

Certainly less dull than Saved but this isn't great. There's still a religious theme but at least the lyrics are Dylanesque, and the format of the music has more variety. Lyrically, the highlight is "Every Grain of Sand", this is a true return to form. "The Groom's Still Waiting at The alter" is the other strong song which is a return to full on Rock and Roll.
