Product Description

Bob Dylan's "Self Portrait," released on June 8, 1970, under Columbia/Legacy, is a captivating blend of folk rock, folk, singer-songwriter, roots rock, and country rock that showcases Dylan's versatility and artistic evolution. This double album spans a generous 74 minutes, featuring 24 tracks that offer a rich tapestry of musical styles and themes.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "All the Tired Horses," setting the tone for a journey through Dylan's diverse musical landscape. Fans will appreciate the inclusion of live recordings from the Isle of Wight Festival in August 1969, such as the electrifying "Like a Rolling Stone" and "The Mighty Quinn," which capture the raw energy of Dylan's performances. The live tracks are seamlessly interwoven with studio recordings, creating a dynamic listening experience.

"Self Portrait" features a mix of original compositions and covers, showcasing Dylan's ability to reinterpret classic songs with his unique perspective. Tracks like "In Search of Little Sadie" and "Blue Moon" highlight his knack for infusing traditional tunes with a fresh, personal touch. The album also includes poignant originals like "Take Me as I Am (Or Let Me Go)" and "It Hurts Me Too," which delve into themes of love, loss, and self-reflection.

With its eclectic mix of styles and themes, "Self Portrait" is a testament to Bob Dylan's enduring creativity and his ability to continually reinvent himself. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to his music, this album offers a compelling exploration of one of the most influential artists of all time.

This 2022 Reissue 2LP set is pressed on 180g vinyl.

  • Dylan's Stunning Masterpiece

    5 out of 5 stars
    Bleqav8 January 2026United States🇺🇸

    Bob Dylan has crafted a stunning album here. It might be a bit misundrestimated, but it's certainly a gorgeous one. The recording, production, and pressing are all top-notch, making the whole thing sound fantastic.

  • Mixed Feelings on Self Portrait

    4 out of 5 stars
    govruquetho421 October 2025United States🇺🇸

    There's been a ton of talk about Self Portrait, ranging from harsh criticism to later-on praise. Was it a defiant contract fulfillment? Or a genuine compilation? Hard to say. Perhaps a mix of both. It feels somewhat unfinished in many aspects, from the recording and mixing to the song choices and performances. Yet, there's plenty to enjoy. I've got a pretty decent copy here. It sounds good and there's a bunch of tracks to check out.

    There's been a ton of talk about Self Portrait. Some folks have torn it apart, while others have heaped praise on it. Was it a middle finger to the record label? Was it a heartfelt compilation? Hard to say. Maybe it's a mix of both. It feels a bit unfinished in many aspects, from the recording and mixing to the song choices and performances. Yet, there's plenty to enjoy. I've got a pretty decent copy here. It sounds good and there's a bunch of tracks to check out.

Perhaps a mix of both. It feels somewhat unfinished in many aspects, from the recording and mixing to the track choices and performances. Yet, there's plenty to appreciate.

  • Mismatched Vinyl Sides

    5 out of 5 stars
    izowhuewor10 September 2025United States🇺🇸

    Picked up my vinyl in Greensboro, NC (shoutout to Hippo Records, awesome store!) with a perfect match for Side 1/2, but Side 3's XSM153506-1AB and Side 4's XSM153507-1B...seriously? I never come across mismatches like this, oh well.
