Editing Blood on the Tracks (section)

==Artwork and packaging==
The front cover shows Bob Dylan in a portrait in profile looking to the left. To the left of this is a burgundy color strip with the artist's name and album title, both in white and underlined. While the cover image looks like a painting, it is a heavily edited photograph by Paul Till (who is credited accordingly). Till explained that the picture was taken with a telephoto lens at a concert in the [[Maple Leaf Gardens]], in [[Toronto]] on January 10, 1974. When developing the photo he [[Solarization (photography)|solarized]] it, then handcolored it using watercolors.

The backcover shows, depending on the edition, one of two [[lithograph]]s by David Oppenheim. The main difference is between a version issued with and one issued without liner notes. The [[liner notes]] were written by [[Pete Hamill]], then removed by Columbia Records for later 1975 pressings – which is when the lithograph was switched out – and then reinstated after Hamill was awarded a [[Grammy Award|Grammy]] for his comments. There exist later issues of both versions of the back cover.<ref>[https://bob-dylan.org.uk/archives/20217 For a detailed discoussion see Patrick Roefflaer ''Blood on the Tracks. The art work.''
