The 2010 Mono Reissues
In October 2010 Sony released the original mono mixes of Dylan's first 8
albums in digital format for the first time. They are available as a CD
box set titled The Original Mono Recordings, or as compressed digital
downloads from iTunes, HMV etc. on a track-by-track or album-by-album basis. Two months later the vinyl edition of The Original Mono Recordings
was released, containing fully analogue-remastered pressings of the same 8
albums. In Europe the
albums have also been released individually by the Dutch specialist label Music
On Vinyl. Both editions are pressed from metal 'mother' plates produced by George Marino at
Sterling Sound, New York. In 2015 the Music On Vinyl pressings were
reissued under the Sony Legacy imprint. The mono reissues were produced by Steve Berkowitz and engineered by Mark Wilder.

Berkowitz and Wilder,

2010. You can also read a review of the CD box set
