My name is Ben Barrow, and this is Bob Dylan album by album, a podcast that brings you an in-death look at each Bob Dylan studio recording record by record.

This is episode three on Blonde on Blonde. Hope you've been enjoying the series so far.

A little disclaimer at the start of this episode. I recorded and mixed this with an ear infection and quite a bad ear infection as well.

Just thought I put that in because it turns out when you're exclusively dealing in audio,

an ear infection is quite the thing to scupper your plans.

I'm 99% sure it sounds okay, but I'm still very much in the eye of the storm of that ear infection.

So I can never tell.

So rather than delay putting it out, I thought I put it out right now. But as I say, I'm sure it sounds absolutely

fine. But, you know, I thought I put a disclaimer in just for quality reasons anyway.
