The sessions ran over three days. On 13 January Dylan recorded alone, and nearly all of it was discarded. On 14 January he brought in a full electric band, and Bruce Langhorne described the results as first takes. The remaining masters were finished on 15 January, with Maggie's Farm done in a single take. The result is about half electric and half acoustic.

It reached number six in the United States and number one in the UK. Subterranean Homesick Blues got to 39 on the US Hot 100 and nine in the UK. The album went platinum in the US and gold in the UK, ranked 31st on Rolling Stone's 2003 list of the 500 greatest albums, and entered the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2006.
