The Album Review Club - Week #147 - (page 1942) - Blonde On Blonde - Bob Dylan

It's like taking a penalty mate. Once you've picked which way you'll go, stick with it or you might shit the bed
I know which one I want but the version streamed now by Universal who own the rites to the music does not contain two belters which were put on the American version at the expense of one other more poppy song.

One of these songs has been the theme to my whole summer and the reason I picked this band. It really should be on this album as it was from the same studio recording, but put out as an EP. between their debut album and the album I have in mind.

The current streams of their work has the two songs in question on the debut album.

So my dilemma. Go with the debut which is much more accessible. Probably an easier listen or go with my instincts for a much artier record that I doubt will be appreciated in three listens and doesn’t contain the one song I want you to hear.

Best you go for it @Coatigan

Or I’ll just flip a coin.
@RobMCFC what do you think?

You'll just be facing the same dilemma next week (or whenever your turn is). So why not just go with your heart?
 
All is in there. I might have got the quiet shift, with only a few on, but at least there will be stuff there tomorrow to get into.
 
Primal Scream?

There's a scream there and they are a Scottish band (I think) and the poster is, I believe, Scottish. So my logic is faultless on this one. Probably wrong though ;-)

Your logic is not unsound.

But the guess is off the mark.

I'd say, group the EP and the album you want together. One man's accessible is another's meh.
