Off the top of head, the first MOTHERS lp, a double, pre-dates Blonde on Blonde.
Nope. Blonde on Blonde came out in May, Zappa in June. Amazing thing is that Dylan, in less than 18 months, released Bringin' it all Back Home, Hwy 61 and Blonde on Blonde. No one will ever top that
Nope. Dylan first, in May. Zappa in June. Consider that within 18 months Dylan released Bringing it all back home, Hwy 61 and Blonde on Blonde, and you have to see that a genius like his might not come around again in our lifetime.
No it does not.The Mothers didn't release that until June.
From Wikipedia:
About Blonde On Blonde:
"Even the album's original release date remains in doubt; while Columbia reports an official date of May 16, 1966, several Dylan discographers have challenged the date, seeing as the album only charted on the Billboard 200 for the week ending July 23, a full two months after the May release date."
Freak Out was released on June 27, 1966
It's not strictly a music LP but "The Beatles Story" - a cheesy documentary was released by Capitol in 1965 at the latest/and was a double
