Blonde on Blonde

Blonde on Blonde is a folk rock album by Bob Dylan, generally believed to be the rock and roll genre's first double album. Recorded in Nashville, it was produced by Bob Johnston and was released in 1966. The album was a critical and commercial success, though folk music purists continued to protest Dylan's fusion of folk with rock that began with Highway 61 Revisited and Bringing It All Back Home.

Different permutations of Blonde on Blonde

Blonde on Blonde has been issued in no fewer than eleven different forms, with marked differences in mixes and track lengths. No specific version has been established as canonical. In at least one European market, it was originally released as two single LPs. Even the album's original release date remains in doubt; while Columbia reports an official date of May 16, 1966, several Dylan discographers have challenged the date. In 1968, Columbia revised the album cover's inside gatefold.
