Bob Dylan, Planet Waves, 1974 on Asylum

Dylan’s first album after leaving Columbia for Asylum Records, with The Band as the backing group, and his fourteenth overall. (The only other was Before the Flood – both were later reissued by Columbia).

Includes not one but two version of “Forever Young” – fast and slow – along with “Going, Going, Gone” and “On a Night Like This.” Recorded in LA at Village Recorder and produced by Rob Fraboni.

My copy—via Electric Fetus in Minneapolis MN—is a Speciality Records pressing with the textured sleeve on Asylum labels.
