Talk:Blonde on Blonde

message: Hi
Thanks for the great article.
Listening to The Cutting Edge it seems to me that take 24 of "sooner"is the one that made it onto the album, not 19. The rimshot right at the start of both (take 24 and the album track) seems to identify it.The Maybe someone with better documentary resources can check it out?
Cheers

thread_title:  Take number for sooner or later 

message: Blonde on Blonde seems to be one of the few (if not the only) Bob Dylan albums that does not have a genre listed under the general album information. I'm figuring it's folk rock, rock & roll, or plain rock. I can't seem to find a reliable source to back it up. What should the genre of the album be classified as?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by TrevorABrown (talk • contribs) 22:41, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Album Genre 

message: , please stop repeatedly removing the word "had" from the second sentence in the "Background" section, as you have done in these edits: , , , and , without any explanation. The edits are unnecessary and worsen the article. The sentence is fine as it is, and does not require "fixing". 
The paragraph starts with a description of an event that took place no earlier than August 30: after the release of the "Highway 61 Revisited" album, Dylan in September set about hiring a touring band. The next sentence refers to events that happened at a time earlier than the one already referred to: Bloomfield and Kooper had performed with Dylan on the Highway 61 Revisited album, and at Newport in July. For this, the pluperfect form is used. Please stop removing it. --IamNotU (talk) 00:14, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The sentence that was there before was not unambigous... so please write a sentence that is clear: when was the album, when was the event. 'Had' is only for something happened earlier than another event.Kapeter77 (talk) 03:34, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: In what way is it ambiguous? It refers to "the release of Highway 61 Revisited in August 1965", and then to the fact that Bloomfield and Kooper had performed on the new album, which obviously happened earlier than the release date. They had also performed at the Newport festival which had taken place in July. The word "had" itself makes the time relationship clear. There is no need to rewrite the sentence that I can see. --IamNotU (talk) 12:04, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think this version is the best... 'New' the word was not goodbecause it was already mentioned. Kapeter77 (talk) 14:09, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: "His new album" was ok, but "the album" is simpler so I left that. I removed the other words you added. Please just leave "had backed Dylan" alone. --IamNotU (talk) 16:23, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unnecessary grammar "fixes" 

message: The section on the Nashville recordings makes no mention of who played the piano parts notable in a number of the cuts recorded there (eg I Want You). Did Paul Griffin too come down from NY? GianniBGood (talk) 12:45, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
