The item is a Bob Dylan Blonde on Blonde Limited Edition MasterSound 24KT Gold CD housed in its rare collectible longbox format. Released in 1992 by Columbia Legacy, this audiophile reissue is highly regarded for its sound quality and unique packaging.
Key Features of this Release
- Audiophile Quality: The album was remastered using Columbia's proprietary MasterSound 20-bit "Super Bit Mapping" (SBM) technology.
- Gold Disc: Instead of a standard aluminum CD, the music is pressed onto a 24-karat gold layer to improve laser reflectivity and minimize data errors.
- Longbox Format: In the early 1990s, CDs were sold in tall cardboard 12x6-inch "longboxes" to fit existing vinyl display racks. Most buyers threw these away, making surviving longboxes highly sought-after by collectors today.
- Inside the Box: The package contains a standard jewel case with an audiophile picture CD, along with an integral fold-out picture insert booklet.
