[78-L] OT Dylan MONO box ~

[David Lennick]

Apparently there were even significant differences between the American and 
Canadian pressings of "Blonde on Blonde". I know someone who remembers the 
Canadian issue as having a hotter mix. Interesting, because it was from US 
parts as all Canadian Columbias were till 1970.
